Police have not said if any of the robberies are linked, but there's an evident pattern shown in each incident, with suspects getting away in a black SUV.

Chicago police said five 7-Eleven stores were targeted by armed robberies in an early morning crime spree Wednesday. The suspects also took the keys to a customer's 2017 black Jeep Cherokee, which the suspects then fled in, police said.Police said two male suspects, also armed with handguns, entered the store and stole money from two cash registers. They then fled in a black SUV, police said.
No one is in custody in connection with any of the robberies and no injuries were reported. Area Three detectives are investigating."For the most part, I've always felt safe," she said. "But recently, it just seems like some things have been happening where it doesn't feel as safe.""I have pepper spray on my dog leash and I keep an eye out when I'm walking," Logan said. "I don't walk past 7 o'clock at night.
