Spate of Armed Robberies Plague Chicago's North Side Neighborhoods

At least 19 armed robberies were reported in the Logan Square area of Chicago over the weekend, with victims being targeted by two individuals in stolen vehicles who brandished handguns and demanded their belongings. The robberies, which occurred mostly during the day, left some victims injured. Police believe the same crew is responsible for all the incidents. Robberies in the area have seen a significant increase, with a 292% rise in the past month. Local authorities are deploying additional resources and implementing measures such as increased lighting, surveillance cameras, and license plate readers to combat the surge in crime. However, some residents express disappointment in the police response and call for more urgency in apprehending the perpetrators.
