Chicago police have released video of a man and a car that may be connected to at least one armed robbery in Lincoln Park last month. A total of four hold-ups were reported in just over an hour on the night of May 14th—in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Roscoe Village. Most of the victims provided similar descriptions of the offenders.
Shortly after a woman was robbed at gunpoint in the 1300 block of West Wrightwood around 12:20 a.m., a man arrived at a nearby gas station in a vehicle that may be a Toyota Matrix. He then used the victim’s credit card to purchase cigarettes and gasoline. Surveillance cameras at the gas station captured video of the suspect and the car.
The man who used the victim’s credit card was wearing a red hoodie with a design on the front and tan pants. That outfit matches the description of one offender that was given by the victim on Wrightwood.
