A 25-year-old Chicago man has been charged with using a syringe and a knife
to rob North Side businesses this month.
Police say Austin Pierce, of the 2800 block of North Oakley Avenue, and a
woman, who is wanted and hasn't been charged, robbed five stores between 5:30
p.m. May 15 and 10 a.m. May 22.
In each case, a person approached a clerk and showed a note saying the robber
is armed with a syringe, knife or gun. A syringe and knife were
displayed in two of the robberies.
