Robbers Knock Down Woman In Loop Robbery In Broad Daylight

(CBS) -- Chicago police are trying to find four young men they say are connected to a series of strong-arm robberies.

Investigators did not say exactly how many robberies the crime spree involved, but have released surveillance video of one robbery committed in broad daylight in the Loop.

The video shows four young men walking past a woman outside the Union League Club building at 65 W. Jackson Blvd. around 3:30 p.m. on June 6. One of the men snatches something from the woman's hand, knocking her to the ground in the process.

Police said the 39-year-old woman suffered minor abrasions, and did not need to go to the hospital.
