I wonder if the grocery store robberies were part of the same crime spree that robbed the Jewel in Rogers park just a bit earlier Sunday AM. Apparently, the robbers were three hooded men who threatened the Jewel brandishing guns. The Chicago Police Department couldn’t catch them–but did arrive one minute too late with 15 officers. They had robbed several other stores in Chicago as well.
