 |
| 7000 South Pulaski |
The crime occurred at 1:14 p.m. Saturday. The victim, a 42-year-old West Lawn woman, was shopping with family members at the Family Dollar at 7000 South Pulaski. As she left the store and walked to her car, one of the teenagers grabbed at her purse while the other acted as a lookout.
In the struggle, the teen offender pushed the victim to the pavement, kneeled on her chest and stomach and hit her as he tried to snatch her purse.
When a relative (a 23-year-old Back of the Yards man) saw the crime and started running to assist, the teen offenders briefly scuffled with him and then fled; but were apprehended by the off-duty police. The victim refused medical treatment and said she wanted to press charges.
One of the two teens is a South Side boy who said he attends McKay Elementary School. The other 15-year-old lives in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood and said he attends Hurley Elementary School.

53rd/Oak Park: My neighbors power washer was stolen from their garage, no signs of forced entry. They did not report it. Crime IS in west end of the 8th district, but for some reason people don't report it.
ReplyDeleteYou see something, call 911. Better safe than sorry!!
There was a car break-in in the parking lot of Home Run Inn pizza this past Sunday around 5-6 pm. A laptop was stolen from the vehicle. I don't think the surveillance camera was able to capture the theft because the car was parked too far away from the main entrance to Home Run Inn.
