CHICAGO — Robbers are targeting pizza delivery drivers in Rogers Park, police said.

In two recent incidents, robbers have targeted the drivers as they delivered pizzas to customers.

In one incident, a driver entered a building vestibule and armed three males came downstairs, robbing the driver. In the second incident, the driver called a customer to announce the delivery; while waiting in the building's courtyard, two males emerged from a gangway and robbed him at gunpoint.

The incidents took place in the 7700 block of North Paulina Street on Jan. 17 at 10:48 p.m. and the 7700 block of North Marshfield Avenue on Jan. 18 at 8:10 p.m.

The suspects in the first incident are described as black males between 20 and 22, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-10, with thin builds. In the Marshfield robbery, the suspects are described as black males between 25 and 28, 5-foot-6, wearing black jackets. One wore a black baseball cap and beige pants; the other wore blue jeans.
