Police are investigating an armed robbery that took place Saturday morning inside Chicago’s Congress Plaza Hotel.
At approximately 8:30 a.m., two male suspects followed one of the victims to his hotel room in the 500 block of South Michigan Avenue and forced their way inside, according to Chicago police.
Three men, each 20-years old, and two women, age 19 and 23, were robbed at gunpoint, according to investigators. The suspects stole the victims’ cell phones, wallets, purses and cash.

Investigators found a weapon on the scene. No injuries were reported, according to investigators.
No one was in custody as of Saturday afternoon.
