Map: Lincoln Park Muggings Summer 2009
Between July 30 and Aug. 4, 2009 there was a series of strong-armed robberies in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. There are a total of five attacks which have been linked, and a series of others that could be connected.
The map shows the five attacks which are definitely connected by using a large pin with a black circle in the middle. There are two other possibly related attacks on the map which are expressed with a small pin.
All of the men who were attacked are in their mid-20s and walking alone. The attackers are also men in their 20s. The victims were attacked from behind and asked for their wallets. They were then savagely beaten in the head and face. Two of the victims needed to be hospitalized. As of Dec. 27, 2009 no arrests had been made.
