Remember the viral Riis Park arrest where police tackled a scooter-riding gunman? That case just went federal.

Chicago police are asking for the public’s help to identify a woman who was found on the Northwest Side yesterday.

Prosecutors say he fired a pistol in Riis Park and recorded himself displaying a machine gun as he rode around the park on a stolen scooter. Cops tackled him. And it was all caught on multiple videos.

A 16-time convicted felon is now accused of robbing cellular stores while on pretrial release for three separate felony cases.

The man prosecutors say burglarized units at a Northwest Side storage facility four times this year was already on pretrial release for allegedly burglarizing a storage unit in Melrose Park.

A man convicted of taking $146,000 during a bank robbery in 2018 is in hot water again. Federal prosecutors say he robbed another Chicago bank over the weekend and, in a serious targeting error, also tried to rob a “non-traditional” bank that does not keep any cash on property.

A man has been handed a 12-year sentence for posing as a cop to commit an armed home invasion just months after being exonerated of a murder conviction for which he received a 60-year sentence in 1997.
