Two juveniles accused of robbing a woman<\/a> at gunpoint as she dropped her daughter off at daycare on Chicago\u2019s Near North Side last month are also accused of carrying out two more armed robberies the same week, Chicago police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The boys, ages 15 and 17, were arrested Tuesday in the 1100 block of South Hamilton Avenue, the same block where Cook County\u2019s juvenile justice center is located, a detail that suggests both may already have other matters pending before the courts.<\/p>\n

CPD said the spree began March 15, when the boys held up a 35-year-old man in the 7600 block of South Exchange Avenue in South Shore.<\/p>\n

Two days later, on March 17, a 26-year-old woman was standing in the 1100 block of North Cleveland Avenue at about 9:17 a.m., having just dropped off her 4-year-old daughter at daycare, when a group of armed robbers poured out of a silver car and took her valuables.<\/p>\n

Officers were told to watch for four suspects, all armed with rifles, traveling in a smaller silver car, possibly an Acura, bearing Kentucky license plates. CPD later recovered that vehicle on the South Side.<\/p>\n

About 20 minutes after the daycare robbery, police say the boys struck again, holding up a 34-year-old man at gunpoint and robbing him in the 7500 block of South Exchange Avenue.<\/p>\n

Each boy is charged with three counts of armed robbery with a firearm, police said.<\/p>\n
