Chicago police are warning residents of a person who has used social media to meet victims and rob them in Lawndale on the West Side.
In each incident a male, thought to be between 17 and 20-years-old, met victims on Facebook, agrees to meet up in the 1200 block of South Christiana Avenue, then attacks them and demands their property, according to a community alert from Chicago police. In one incident, the male pulled out a knife when one person tried to defend themselves.
