Police are searching for a couple accused of kidnapping a woman in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood and forcing her to take out money at several ATMs in the city.
The kidnapping happened on Oct. 22 in the 2400 block of North Fairfield. Just after 11 p.m., the couple forced a woman into a dark sedan, possibly a Toyota or a Pontiac Grand Prix, according to police. The woman was then taken to various ATMs to withdraw money. She was later released unharmed in an alley.
One Logan Square resident said he was surprised and disturbed to learn about the robberies. “It's just a very peaceful neighborhood. A very calm neighborhood without the violent crime,” said Craig Faust.
Police say the pair is also suspected in the robbery of another woman in the neighborhood just days later.
The second incident happened on Oct. 24 in the 2400 block of North Richmond. Police say at around 10 p.m., the couple robbed a woman at gunpoint and tried to get her into a car. However, the woman managed to fight off the couple and escaped.
In each case, the couple, armed with a gun, approached both women who were walking alone.
According to police, the male suspect is described as having brown eyes and short black hair, between 18 and 27 years old, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9, and weighing about 135 pounds. The female suspect is described as also having brown eyes and straight black hair, between 18 and 20 years old, 5-foot-9, and 200 pounds, police said.
