A man and woman worked together to rob four victims across the city on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, police said. A fifth incident was also reported.
David Kariotis made a series of threats against Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot after a city 311 operator told him he had to file his complaints about the mayor online, prosecutors said.
Chicago police on Thursday updated their warning about a robbery pattern in the South Loop after a woman was robbed of more than $10,000 by a group of men.
Three men threw a woman to the ground in the South Loop on Wednesday morning and robbed her of her purse, which contained over $10,000 cash, according to a CPD report.
Charges are pending against a man who is suspected of carjacking an Uber driver in Lakeview and trying to carjack another driver in Lincoln Park minutes earlier.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she is “concerned” about media coverage, but not about CPD’s chief of internal affairs, after the high-ranking cop’s car was caught up in a narcotics arrest involving a notorious police informant.
City officials have gone mute as a scandal involving heroin, a CPD chief’s car, a police informant, the botched Anjanette Young raid, and the city’s police oversight agency brews.
