CHICAGO - At least 3 people were robbed in Chicago's Back of the Yards and New City neighborhoods in just five minutes on Saturday morning, possibly by the same criminals.
Police said that at 6:35 a.m., a 30-year-old man who was along West 47th near South Aberdeen saw three people jump out of a sedan. They came up to him, threatened him with guns and took his stuff. Then they jumped back into the car.
