A 14-year-old boy was charged with robbing 11 people at gunpoint in a span of 45 minutes in Chicago last week.
What are the details?
The boy is suspected of robbing a 29-year-old man in the 1100 block of West Taylor Street around 1:50 a.m. July 25, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, adding that five minutes later he allegedly stole belongings from a 38-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man a few blocks away in the 1100 block of South Canal Street.
Then around five minutes later, he allegedly robbed a 36-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man in the 700 block of West Taylor Street, the paper said, citing police.
Police told WFLD-TV the boy then took property at gunpoint from:
a 28-year-old woman in the 2400 block of South Canal Street around 2:20 a.m.
a 44-year-old man in the 2500 block of South Halsted Street around 2:24 a.m.

Anything else?
Another string of early-morning armed robberies took place in just over three hours Tuesday — between 2:50 a.m. and 6:05 a.m. — across several South Side Chicago neighborhoods, police told WFLD in a separate story.
Police told the station a group of three to seven males — described as wearing black clothing and ski masks — approached victims at gas stations, took their property at gunpoint, and fled in a silver/gray Hyundai Sonata.
