Chicago police seek 5 suspects in armed Red Line robbery at 69th Street
Chicago police are asking for the public's help with identifying five people wanted in connection with an armed robbery on a CTA Red Line train earlier this month.
The incident happened on June 21 around 1:40 a.m. in the 0–100 block of West 69th Street.
Police released photos of the suspects, who they said approached the victim and physically assaulted her before forcibly taking property from her backpack.
