Chicago Police are warning residents of armed robberies in the Humboldt Park and Logan Square neighborhoods on the West and Northwest sides.

In all four incidents, a man walked up to victims on the street, pulled out a handgun and demanded their property, according to a community alert from police.

The incidents happened:

  • At 3:56 p.m. Aug. 26 in the 2200 block of North Western;
  • At 5 p.m. Sept. 13 in the 1900 block of North California;

The suspect was described as a 20 to 30-year-old black man, standing 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-10 and weighing 150-175 pounds, police said. He wore a white or blue T-shirt, blue jeans, a black mask covering his head and face, and blue-and-white or red gym shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Area North detectives at (312) 744-8263.
