The bulletin released this afternoon says Belmont Area detectives want to identify the three people in the photographs. They are three of the five people suspected of “recently” robbing a Red Line rider on the Red Line near the Chicago Avenue stop on the State Street subway.
The strong-arm robbery took place Thursday, according to police News Affairs.
The photos, which are low-resolution, show three young people. Two appear to be male, one thin or medium in build, wearing a white shirt, dark cap, olive or khaki shorts and white sneakers with a dark tongue or dark laces, the other apparently with a heavier build, long hair, possible facial hair and a dark shirt.
The third appears to be a female, wearing a red cap with the brim facing to the right, a red t-shirt and a red sports jersey with the word “Hollister” and four numbers, including “19” and “2” on the left side, as well as dark pants or shorts.
Detectives would not disclose the exact time of the robbery described in the information bulletin, so it was not possible to confirm if the robbery in question was that of Jesse Andersen, brother of rock musician Billy Corgan, who was robbed about 4:30 a.m. on Thursday on the Red Line subway.
However, the photographs appear to match the descriptions given by Andersen of at least two and possibly three of his attackers, one a “tomboy” wearing a red baseball cap, another a young man in a white shirt. The dark of the second male’s shirt in the surveillance photograph is not easily discernible, but Andersen described a teen who was wearing a navy blue shirt as being among his attackers.
Police at the time of the attack described Andersen’s assailants as between 15 and 25 years old, four of them males and one female.
Police asked anyone with information about the three people shown in the photographs to call Belmont Area detectives at 312-744-8263
