A man carrying a gun robbed two people Wednesday night in Oak Lawn, police said.
The robbery happened about 9:30 p.m. in the 9100 block of South 52nd Court, police said. No one was injured.
Oak Lawn police are investigating the possibility that the alleged gunman also was involved in similar incidents in a neighboring community.
According to police, a man carrying a black handgun approached the two people from behind and demanded money.
The assailant is described as a “young-looking” man in his early 20s, about 5-foot, 8 inches tall with a thin build, Oak Lawn police said. He was last seen running southbound on 52nd Court and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with dark pants.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Oak Lawn police at 708-422-8292
