4 people robbed, carjacked at gunpoint in the Loop

CHICAGO — Police are investigating after four people were robbed and carjacked in the Loop on Sunday evening.

The victims, a 31-year-old woman and men ages 40, 41, and 44, were targeted moments after they parked and exited their car in the first block of South LaSalle around 6:46 p.m., a Chicago police spokesperson said.

Three men pulled up in a blue Kia and displayed guns while demanding the victims’ property, police said. One of the robbers struck the female victim in the chest with a firearm, and then took her valuables.

Police said two robbers got into the victims’ red Porche 911 and headed north on LaSalle. The third offender followed them in the blue Kia Soul.

Cops found the hijacked Porsche abandoned a short time later. No arrests have been made.
