Chicago police have released surveillance images of four suspects who allegedly beat and robbed a man at the Belmont CTA station in Lakeview on Friday evening.
Police said the group threw asphalt at the 40-year-old victim and displayed a weapon while demanding his property around 8:59 p.m. They then chased after the man and beat him as they took his valuables. CWBChicago previously reported that the offenders took the victim’s ring and wallet, which contained about $1,000 cash.
The robbers escaped by boarding another train at Belmont, police said.
Detectives said the group consists of four Black males between the ages of 14- and 16-years-old. One wore a black Versace hoodie with black pants. Another wore a dark jacket with tan Timberland boots. The third wore a royal blue hoodie with a black jacket and royal blue pants. And the fourth wore a white or light pink hoodie with black jeans.
