Chicago police are trying to identify four men who committed three robberies aboard Red Line trains last month. CPD released surveillance images of the group on Tuesday and asked the public to get in touch if they know any of the men.

The robberies occurred at night on the Red Line between Cermak and 95th Street, police said. Each time, the men approached passengers, demanded property, and then took items by force if the victim did not comply, according to CPD.

On December 20, the group targeted a passenger near the Cermak station around 10:23 p.m., police said. The crew struck twice within ten minutes on December 29: at 95th Street around 10:52 p.m. and then near 79th Street at 11 p.m.
