Police chases ended in two locations: one in Chicago, where four suspects were caught, and another in Indiana, where two suspects surrendered in a river.
Six people were arrested after a $70,000 armed robbery in Cicero involving multiple getaway vehicles.
Police began pursuing two suspect vehicles, ending one chase near West End Avenue and North Kostner Avenue in Chicago. During the pursuit, a suspect’s vehicle struck a Chicago police squad car. No injuries were reported.
Two suspects were taken into custody at the scene. Two others in a white Honda were later tracked to an apartment building in the 4400 block of West End Avenue and were arrested.
A black Chrysler was later located by Illinois State Police traveling westbound on Interstate 290. The pursuit continued onto I-294 and I-94 into Indiana.
Police recovered multiple bundles of cash—still wrapped in bands—from several vehicles and suspects.
The identities of the suspects and any pending charges have not yet been released. The investigation is ongoing.
Two suspects abandoned the vehicle on I-94 in Hammond and ran into the Little Calumet River, where they surrendered, police said.
