Mobs on Mag Mile again last weekend?

After all the hooting and hollering about the mob attacks that occurred near Mag Mile on Saturday June 4th, the only mobs you were likely to see this past weekend were wearing Chicago Police uniforms.

Mayor Rahm Emmanuel praised police and reinforced to Superintendent Garry McCarthy that he wanted to see every one of the youths involved brought to justice.

Three teens were arrested last Friday June 10th. The three were charged with robbing two victims at about 8 p.m. near Chicago and Michigan Avenues, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti.

Everyone on North Michigan Avenue probably felt pretty safe seeing police on almost every corner. In addition to the police there were a few Guardian Angels posted near the entrance to the Red Line stop at Chicago and Wabash.

Yes, the police have been out in force since the June 4th attacks, but that didn’t seem to bother the four people who mugged a passenger on the south bound CTA Brown Line, stealing his wallet and i-Phone.
