Logan Square Man Accused in Series of Armed Robberies of Northwest Side Businesses

CHICAGO, IL — A Logan Square man is being held without bail after being charged in connection with a series of business armed robberies, according to police.

Angelo Stanton, 27, of the 273700 block of West McLean Avenue, faces the following charges, all felonies:

• armed robbery with a firearm
• unlawful use of a weapon by a felon on parole
• two counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm
• two counts of attempted armed robbery with a firearm

The charges stem from four armed robberies of Northwest Side businesses that happened between Aug. 26 and Sept. 22. Police issued a community alert about the robberies Oct. 5.

According to Chicago police, Stanton was seen parking his car several blocks from a business in the 1500 block of North Leavitt Street and wearing similar clothes worn by the suspect in previous robberies. Officers approached Stanton, who then tried to flee while keeping a handgun from falling out of his pants.

Once in custody, Stanton was identified as the person responsible for the armed robberies, police said.
