A man was robbed at gunpoint when the sun was still up in the Gage Park neighborhood this week – and it turns out the gunman could be linked to other armed robberies on the city's Southwest Side.
As CBS 2's Jermont Terry reported Friday night, police believe the same car is involved in two brazen armed robberies – with the targets being elderly people walking by alleys or pulling into garages.
Here's why – surveillance video shows a man jumping out of a gray-silver Kia in the alley behind the 5200 block of South Artesian Avenue around 6 p.m. Wednesday. The man then ran into a garage with a gun and caught the grandfather off guard.Just seconds before the robbery, the video shows the grandfather pulling into the garage. The man's wife caught the robber pointing the gun at her husband's chest from the backyard.
"These are elderly people. These are people that usually you would think can't defend themselves," Rojas said."Yet you're here pointing a gun at them - screaming at their face." "The fact that it was the same individual and it happened just like five, six days apart - it's like really concerning that no one in the neighborhood had any idea," Rojas said.
