8-Feb-16 – A 29-year-old man says he was robbed by two women last month after he walked out of a bar on North Wells Street.

According to Chicago police, the man – six-feet-four-inches tall, weighing 255 pounds, and from the Wrigleyville neighborhood – left a bar in the 400 block of North Wells Street early in the morning of January 16. He says the women came up to him with a gun and told him to get in their car.

They took from him two mobile phones worth $1,260 and a wallet containing four credit cards and $95 in cash. He says they then drove him eight miles northwest to 4569 North Elston Avenue and let him out of the car.

The women are described as black, with short-to-medium black hair, brown eyes, and dark brown complexions. One is 28 to 35 years old, five-feet-two-inches tall, and weighs 200 pounds. The other is 40 to 45 years old, five-feet-seven-inches tall, and weighs 160 pounds.
