CHICAGO — Police are looking for a group of males they say are responsible for several recent robberies in Bronzeville.

The group of two to four men, ranging in age from their late teens to early 20s, has robbed several victims on and near East 35th Street between Cottage Grove and Michigan avenues, police said.

Police released surveillance photos of two suspects but did not give details of when or where the photos were taken.

Police describe the suspects as black males ranging in height from 5-feet-5 to 6 feet and ranging in weight from 150 to 175 pounds. At least one of them was seen wearing a black hooded waist-length jacket with a white insignia along the left chest area, a "Chicago" baseball cap and black-and-white athletic shoes, a police news release said.
