Chicago police are looking for a man who used a hook-up app to meet—then rob—other men, according to ABC 7.
The offender reportedly met their victim via Grindr the evening of Jan. 28 in the 900-block of North Michigan Avenue. The offender stunned the victim with a taser, then stole their property.
Similar incidents have occurred in Streeterville and the Loop over the course of this winter, with robberies occurring in the 600-block of North State Street on Dec. 22; the first block of West Randolph Street on Jan. 6; and the 600-block of North Lake Shore Drive on Jan. 23. In that last incident, the offender robbed the victim after threatening them with the taser.
Chicago police told ABC 7 that they have "good leads" on the case. Anyone with information should contact Area Central Detectives at ( 312 ) 747-8380.
ABC 7's report is at abc7chicago.com/robber-using-dating-app-to-lure-victims-in-loop-streeterville-police-say/5893793/ . |
