3 arrested after robbery at Near North Side business, crash in stolen vehicle: CPD

CHICAGO — A group of three people were taken into custody on Thursday evening following a theft from a Near North Side business.

Chicago police say the incident began around 7:40 p.m. at a business in the 100 block of East Grand Avenue, in River North.

Officers said they were initially called to the scene following a report that a group of around four male offenders had stolen “high-end property” from a business in the area and fled the scene in a stolen white SUV.

Police did not say what business was hit in the robbery, but the area is home to a shopping mall and several other shops.

A short while later, officers said the group crashed the SUV.
