Two pizza delivery drivers have been robbed at gunpoint in the past week in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.

The first armed robbery came about 10:45 p.m. April 5 in the 200 block of North Mayfield Avenue, according to Chicago Police. The latest robbery happened about 10 p.m. Saturday in the 600 block of North Lockwood Avenue.
