Police are investigating two robberies in our area this morning. No one is in custody.

Most recently, two men tried to rob a woman on the street near Wrigley Field.

The men approached her near Waveland and Sheffield around 5:30 a.m., announced a robbery, and implied that they had a handgun, the woman said.
