Two women were robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning in River North when a pair of masked men leaped out of a car and confronted them on the street, according to Chicago police.
Around 11:30 a.m., the two 40-year-old women were walking in the 800 block of North Clark Street when a white vehicle came up alongside them. According to CPD, two men emerged, brandished weapons, and demanded their things.
The victims turned over their possessions, and the robbers ran south on Clark Street, carrying their handbags. Neither of the women was wounded. Several witnesses immediately called 911 to report the heist, identifying the perpetrators as two Black individuals wearing masks and black clothing.
Officers checking security footage discovered that the getaway vehicle was a white Honda Accord with provisional registration plates. Following the robbery, the automobile was last seen going toward the Ontario Street feeder ramp, according to police.
No arrests had been announced, and authorities had not released any other information about the suspects.
