What Gang are They From?
- Three men are charged with possessing cocaine and firearms, including
a machine gun, after running from a stolen car on the Northwest Side,
officials said. The driver of the Lexus got away, but not before someone fired shots at Chicago cops.
Around 2 a.m. last Wednesday, CPD officers were searching the Irving Park neighborhood for a car that may have been involved in a previous incident involving a man with a gun, according to a police statement. As cops approached the parked Lexus in the 4600 block of North Knox, at least four people bolted from the vehicle, police said. An officer detained one man at the scene while another cop chased the remaining suspects. That’s when someone fired shots, forcing the officers to take cover, according to CPD. No injuries were reported. Police found two shell casings in the area.
Back at the Lexus, which was outfitted with stolen license plates, police allegedly recovered four firearms: a handgun on the center console was equipped with an extended magazine and an automatic fire switch, allowing it to generate machine gun fire; a 5.56 rifle and two more handguns were found in the back seat area, according to court filings. Officers also found a “large amount” of suspected crack cocaine individually packaged inside the car, officials said.
All with other pending cases and/or convictions.
