Several people in Chicago were forced to unlock their phones and banking apps at gunpoint in the past 24 hours – and one case was caught on camera.
There were four different robberies of this variety, with five victims within a period of less than half an hour in Bucktown Thursday morning. One of them was caught on video.
Police said in each incident, four men exited a gray Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicle with no registration on the front or rear and pointed semiautomatic weapons with extended magazine clips at each victim's head. The robbers demanded the victims' personal property – including wallets, credit cards, keys, cash, and cellphones, police said.
In one incident, the victim was forced to reset his password on his phone at gunpoint. On another, the victim was forced to log into their banking applications at gunpoint, police said.
