CHICAGO — Police are warning businesses that as many as four men have been robbing delivery drivers at gunpoint in the Washington Park neighborhood.

The men place food orders, and when the delivery driver arrives at a designated location, two of the men pull out a blue steel handgun and rob the drivers, according to the alert.

Police said the incidents happened earlier this month in the 5600 block of South Michigan Avenue.

Two of the gunmen are 17 to 20 years old, and two other robbers are about 16 years old, police said.

Police asked anyone with information to call 312-747-8380.
