Police Blotter Nov. 2: Man Robbed at Gunpoint in Northwest Evanston

The following items are taken from the Evanston Police Department. In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation and not evidence of guilt. The arrested person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Robbery

A man was walking home at the corner of Grant Street and Praire Avenue Monday night when he was robbed at gunpoint. He told police that he was confronted by three black men in their 20s dressed in all dark clothing at 11:08 p.m. One of the men flashed a silver pistol and they demanded his possessions. He first handed them his wallet, but it was empty of cash, so they handed it back to him. They then took his Virgin cell phone and ran east towards the North Shore Channel. The victim was unharmed.
