Chicago’s Northside is Home to a Series of Muggings
Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood and its surrounding area were the targets of what seemed to be a never ending series of strong-armed robberies and beatings during the summer of 2009. Each mugging can be located on this map.
The Chicago Police Department said that five of the Lincoln Park muggings were linked, and police suspect that two other muggings were related, but haven’t confirmed. There was also an eighth attack that police have not released a statement about or whether it was related to the others.
All of the victims were robbed and some even brutally beaten. Two victims were even sent to the hospital after a group of four attackers beat them. Seven of the victims were all men in their early to mid-20s, while the eighth victim’s information is still unknown.
Police continue to further investigate the muggings.
