A brazen group of thieves in black ski masks were caught on video robbing a family at gunpoint at their front door in broad daylight, the latest in a shocking series of recent robberies in Chicago.
In fact, the Chicago Police Department revealed that the city has faced nearly 50 armed robberies just in the past five weeks, with authorities saying in an alert that they believe they’ve been committed by the same three to four suspects.
Crime continues to be a problem in Chicago – up 49 percent from this point last year – just weeks after new Mayor Brandon Johnson, 47, was inaugurated following a close election over a more conservative, ‘tough on crime’ Democrat rival, Paul Vallas, whom he defeated by around 13,000 votes.
The most recent instance of these potentially serial robberies happened in the city’s Hermosa neighborhood, according to NBC Chicago.
Vincent Galena Sr. was on his way to work at 6 a.m. last Friday morning when he was attacked, according to son Vincent Jr.
LOL can’t wait for the shills to explain that Chicago isn’t even that dangerous. 50 bodies piled up from last weekend says otherwise
