CPD: Rideshare drivers targeted in string of armed robberies, carjackings on West Side
CHICAGO — Rideshare drivers have fallen victim to several armed robberies and carjackings on the city's West Side, prompting a warning from Chicago police amid their search for the males responsible. According to CPD, a group of up to six male teenagers wearing dark clothing and ski masks were robbed in Garfield Park since the start of the year. In each instance, CPD said a group of men would call for a rideshare using an app. After the rideshare driver arrived at the destination, the suspect(s) pulled out a gun or knife and put the victim in a chokehold from behind, pinning them against the driver's seat. The suspect(s) then demand the victim's personal belongings and vehicles. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Incident times and locations include: 3500 block of W.

'There are 85,000 rideshare drivers working in this city, and we can't wait any longer for the City of Chicago to force these corporations to treat us like human beings.'
