Teen charged with Blue Line robbery

A teenage boy has been charged with robbing someone earlier this month on a Blue Line L train near downtown.

The 15-year-old was identified Friday as the person who took property from a female victim about 7:10 p.m. Nov. 14 on a Blue Line train near the Grand Avenue station, according to Chicago police.
