Cellphones Stolen On Green Line Trains In West Garfield Park
CHICAGO (STMW) -- Police have released surveillance photos of suspects in two cellphone robberies on the CTA Green Line last week in the West Garfield Park neighborhood.
The thefts happened about 8:50 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. on April 2, according to a community alert from Chicago Police.
Both victims were seated near doors as the train approached the Pulaski Green Line stop when a teenage boy took a phone from their hand and ran out of the train, police said.
