At approximately 1:05 a.m. on Thursday, January 12, 2023, several University students walking on the sidewalk at 1005 E. 60th Street were approached by three unknown suspects armed with handguns that exited a white Nissan sedan with Illinois License Plates (DC36029). The suspects demanded and took property from two victims before reentering the white sedan that drove westbound toward Cottage Grove Avenue. UCPD was also notified of two additional robberies that were reported to the Chicago Police Department and occurred off-campus just prior to the above listed crime. Given the similar circumstances of these two additional incidents, it is believed that all three incidents are related.
The 1005 E. 60th Street location places the robbery on the southern edge of the main quadrangles, in the corridor between campus and the Midway Plaisance.
The alert pins the suspect vehicle precisely — a white Nissan sedan with Illinois plate DC36029 — and that exact license number is what let UCPD link this robbery to the two earlier Chicago Police Department robberies and treat all three as a single related pattern.
