Local Crime Activity and Personal Safety
"The
warmer weather brought by spring can often be accompanied by increased
criminal activity in the city. Since February several street crimes
have occurred in areas adjacent to the IIT campus:
• Along 31st Street, between Dearborn and Wabash, three batteries
occurred in the late afternoon/early evening hours. In each incident, a
group of juveniles approached an individual and then punched the
individual before fleeing from the area.
• On the CTA 34th/35th Street Green Line platform, two strong-armed
robberies occurred in the late afternoon/early evening hours. In both
incidents, a group of juveniles approached an individual and demanded
their wallet/cell phone before fleeing on a CTA train.
• On the 3400 block of south State Street at approximately 5:30 am, an
individual was pepper sprayed and had their wallet taken by an unknown
offender" = Han un ami de Singapour... Ils ont dû l'emmener à l'hôpital pour des soins, il semble qu'il n'était plus capable de voir pendant plusieurs heures! Et le lendemain ce touriste est parti à Philly...
