Narrative: Four juvenile males were taken into custody and charged after being positively identified as the offenders who committed an Armed Robbery on the 4000 block of S. Langley Ave. on
December 21, 2016 at 8:29 a.m. During this incident, the offenders pulled next to the 20- year-old male victim in a tan sedan as the victim was walking at which time 2 offenders exited and displayed a revolver while demanding the victim’s property. The victim cooperated and the offenders fled in the same vehicle. Responding officers located the vehicle traveling S/B on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive. at which time the offenders fled at a high rate of speed eventually striking a CTA bus at 43rd and LaSalle. All four offenders fled from the vehicle on foot but were taken into custody after brief foot chases. Four females on the bus (ages 58, 58, 59, 62) sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the crash and were taken to area hospitals in stable condition. A weapon was recovered inside of the offender’s vehicle which was reported stolen from Matteson, IL. A custodial search of the 17-year-old offender revealed prescription drugs that he did not have a prescription to possess and was therefore also charged with one felony count of PCS. Subsequent investigation revealed that all four offenders were responsible for four additional Armed Robberies which occurred in the 2nd District the morning of December 21, 2016. All four offenders were charged accordingly. No further information is available.
