Police are warning residents to be on alert after two armed robberies were reported this month in Logan Square and Belmont Gardens on the Northwest Side.

A pair of armed men in a vehicle approached someone in each incident, Chicago police said in an alert. One man stayed in the vehicle while the other went out and demanded money from the person in Spanish.

The robberies happened abut an hour apart from each other on June 15, police said. One took place about 1:19 a.m. in the 4100 block of West Barry Avenue while the other occurred at 2:45 a.m. in the 3900 block of West Diversey Avenue.

The men are described as 20 to 25 years old, 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6 and 200-220 pounds, police said. They were in a white Dodge Caravan or Dodge Durango.

Anyone with information about the robberies should call Area North detectives at 312-744-8263.

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!
In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
