CHICAGO — The Chicago Police Department issued a community alert Monday about a man who robbed two businesses near Little Village early Monday morning.
According to police, the two robberies occurred about 20 minutes apart in the 3600 and 3900 blocks of West Cermak Road around 12:39 and 1:00 a.m. when a single unknown man forced entry through a rear door and a side window of each business.
