Look Who's Back

The Choppa!

• Chicago cops, some on the ground and others in a helicopter, teamed up to arrest four suspects following a series of robberies reported Wednesday evening between the West Loop and Hyde Park. Detectives are now investigating how many of the crimes the group may be responsible for.

  Starting around 9:15 p.m., at least 11 robberies involving 14 or more victims were reported before police apprehended the suspects more than two hours later.

  [...] About ten minutes after the Blackstone robbery, a CPD ground unit spotted a black Mitsubishi that had been seen near several robbery locations. A nearby CPD helicopter crew immediately began tracking the vehicle, which fled from police.

So is the Department up to a single helicopter now? Did they finally approve funds to bring it back to FAA specs or what?
