Another Lincoln Park Robbery

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Aug 7, 2009 2:40PM

Police are trying to determine if an overnight robbery in Lincoln Park is connected to the string of robberies in the last week (seven at last count). A roving gang of thugs is strong-arming people into handing over their cash and phones and last night's robbery seems to fit the style of previous incidents. More details over at Chicago Breaking News. No word yet if the media plans to adjust coverage to include the dozens of other robberies that happen every day in other neighborhoods.
