The women were knocked to the ground and the men threatened Saturday night.
CHICAGO, IL - Three couples were robbed over the weekend in Wicker Park, and police suspect it may be the same in offenders who committed all three acts.
In all three cases, the robbers got behind the couples and knocked the women to the ground before pointing guns at the men warning them not to interfere, according to a CBS-Chicago report.
The first two couples were attacked at the same time, around 10:45 a.m. near Evergreen and Wicker Park avenues. About 45 minutes in the 1700 block of North Honore Street, a third couple was robbed by two men, both armed.
