Boy, 12, charged with River North armed robberies

A 12-year-old boy was charged with robbing three people at gunpoint over the course of a week earlier this month in River North.

Police said the boy was involved in robberies in the 700 to 900 blocks of North Larrabee that occurred between 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 14, 15 and 19.
