Another armed robbery was reported early Tuesday morning after CPD issued an alert of 50 armed robberies in Humboldt Park, Ukrainian Village, and Logan Square in just four days.

The latest incident took place just after 3 a.m. in the 1400-block of West Fillmore Street in University Village, Chicago police said.

They demanded his wallet and cell phone; he complied, and the group took off in a black Honda sedan.

The previous armed robberies have occurred in the 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 24th and 25th districts in the overnight and early morning hours, police said. In each incident, the victims are on foot or seated in a vehicle on the street when a car with two to four robbers pulls up, multiple suspects get out and, while armed with handguns, demand the victims’ personal belongings, including phones and wallets.
