Man charged with pair of armed robberies in West Town, East Garfield Park

A man was charged Friday with a pair of armed robberies last month in the West Town and East Garfield Park neighborhoods.

Tyree Graham, 19, of the Humboldt Park neighborhood, was charged with two felony counts of robbery, Chicago Police said.

Graham was positively identified in photo arrays as the offender in a pair of recent armed robberies, police said.

About 6 p.m. Dec. 12, Graham walked up to a 28-year-old man in the 700 block of North Oakley, pulled out a handgun and demanded property before running away, police said.

The following night, Graham threw a 24-year-old woman to the ground about 8: 15 p.m. in the 2800 block of West Walnut, police said. He then motioned to his waistband to imply he had a weapon and stole her property.

Graham appeared in court Saturday, where his bail was set at $50,000, according to Cook County Sheriff’s Office records. His next court date was scheduled for Friday.
