CHICAGO — Police are looking for two men with glistening smiles who are responsible for mugging a CTA passenger in River North.

In surveillance images released by CPD on Sunday, the men appear to be smiling widely on a train platform, although it’s unclear if they were happy about robbing someone or simply giddy with the prospect of doing so.

Police said the victim was on a Red Line train at Grand when the men robbed them around 6:55 p.m. on Saturday, May 25. The suspects are between 18 and 23, according to CPD.

Anyone who has information about them can call the mass transit unit at 312-745-4447 regarding case #JH278829.
