CHICAGO (WLS) -- Teenagers used electric scooters to carry out two armed robberies on Chicago's Northwest Side, police said.
Police said the robberies happened on Aug. 3 just before 5 p.m. and on Aug. 6 just before 8 p.m. in the city's Humboldt Park neighborhood.
The alleged robbers, a boy and a girl, appeared to be between 12 and 17 years old and were armed with a handgun, police said. In each robbery, the pair rode on lime green and white Lime brand electric scooters to approach the victims.
Police said the teens have taken a vehicle and work tools from their victims. In one incident, they battered a victim for refusing to give up his belongings.
The teens were last seen wearing black ski masks, a blue hooded sweatshirt, a white hooded sweatshirt, black pants and white gym shoes.
Police asked anyone with information to contact them at 312-746-8253.

They know the ages and the genders of the perps, but nothing else.

All these new e-vehicles are going to be used as such. It’s just a matter of time before going out unarmed will be impossible in these cities.

No. Probably Mary and Jeff Stone. Unless one of them is transgendered.

My town tried and got rid of the damn things after a year, but my first thought was how they’d be a real neat tool for criminals. Stealthy, agile, much faster than walking or a bike and when you’re done just dump ‘em. All you need is a fake or stolen credit card.

There’s a pretty young girl that rides her electric scooter around our subdivision. They can move along right smart.

If they were Lime scooters, they should be able to find the names. You need to use a card to activate them, right?
While there could be hundreds in use at any one time, its at least a start and better than describing hoodies..
