CHICAGO — The Chicago Police Department sent out a community alert Sunday evening alerting the Northwest Side of a string of ten robberies connected to a single vehicle that happened in less than an hour.

According to police, in each instance, a group of four Black males from the ages of 18-25 years old, wearing dark clothes and ski masks, exited a grey Hyundai Elantra displaying handguns before approaching victims on the sidewalk or who are parking vehicles.

After demanding and taking personal property, they then fled in the Elantra.
