CHICAGO (CBS) – Police say a pair of girls only 16 years old are on a mission to grab jewelry from unsuspecting victims on the city’s Southwest Side.

A community alert has been issued for the robberies, the first of which happened around 3:20 p.m. May 27 in the 5800 block of South Troy Street. A 15-year-old girl was approached by the two suspects, who grabbed her necklace from her, police said.

In the second robbery, which happened in the 5500 block of South Mozart Street, a 15-year-old girl was robbed of a gold chain and a gold heart ring, police said.

Neither victim was injured in the robberies.

The suspects are described as two Hispanic girls, both 16 years old. One is between 4 feet 8 to 5 feet 2 inches tall and between 100 to 115 pounds. The other is between 5 feet 3 to 5 feet 6 inches tall and 115 to 150 pounds.

Anyone with information on the robberies or the suspects is asked to call Wentworth Area police detectives, at (312) 747-8382.

    More “honor students & “dream act illegal’s” …..just out hav’in fun, …just got in from New York, any one tell some nice places on the subway…..

      That was racist, dude! Even though these young ladies are now criminals they are still Americans.

      S.O.S.

      • Mr. Justice

        Oh Shut Up NWA. You are a racist pig and we are sick of your verbal vomit. Bernie didn’t say anything racist. We have seen and read your verbal vomit on here enough times. Doesn’t matter if these “young ladies are Americans”. First of all, they are not ladies. Secondly, I don’t care what color they are, they are girl thugs. Perhaps once the tables get turned on them, and they get the stuffing beat out of them when they attack some young girl, then maybe they will change.

        @NWA, Americans maybe, sh!t Mexicans for sure. Why would you defend these low life criminals? What is the matter with you?

      • NWA

        @WhoThe”F”SaidThat

        I would defend them because they are human beings who obviously have been misled. This is why they have resorted to wayward acts. And, they are still sixteen year old young ladies. Try it, it’s called respect.

        S.O.S.
