Rash of muggings hits Chicago’s Northside

http://quikmaps.com/site/128996

Chicago’s Northside has seen a sharp increase in the number of strong armed robberies since last summer, and police are still struggling to find a common link.

The victims, all men in their early 20′s, were all attacked while walking alone. After being confronted by a group of three to four men, all appearing to be in their 20′s, the victims were beaten in the head and face and robbed of their wallets. Two victims were hospitalized as a result. Police are trying to connect these robberies to four previous muggings that took place in the LIncoln Park area in late July and early August. So far, five of the seven robberies have been linked, but no arrests have been made.
