Wrigleyville and Boystown recorded their 62nd robbery of the year this afternoon as a senior citizen got mugged in broad daylight at Addison and Lake Shore Drive around 12:20PM.
No one is in custody.
The victim told police that the robber wrestled away control of her purse near a CTA bus stop and then ran into a nearby tunnel that leads to the lakefront.
Police said the offender is a black man who stands about 5’6” tall. He wore a black hoodie with black pants.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
