Wrigleyville: Overnight Robbery Has 4 Facing Charges

Four men are facing robbery charges this morning after a man was mugged in Wrigleyville early Wednesday.

The victim and a friend were near Sluggers bar when a group of men—possibly local drug dealers— took the man’s wallet and then fled to the Addison Red Line station around 1:30 a.m.

Cops were quick to get to the L stop, and all four were arrested on the platform seconds before their train was to depart.

All four offenders were identified by the victim and officers recovered the victim’s property from a trash can on the train platform, police said.

CWB Chicago will have more information about the accused after charges have been finalized and filed.

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.
