Posted September 24, 2007 11:00 pm
Chicago police arrested three people early Tuesday after a robbery at a South Side airbrush shop that went awry and resulted in a standoff with police.
There were no injuries during the incident and no charges were immediately filed against the alleged suspects, according to police.
Police were summoned to the shop late Monday after a witness reported seeing three armed and masked people enter the shop located in the Roseland community, authorities said.
Victims targeted by the three people had fled the shop by the time police arrived, but the robbers were still inside, according to police. They were arrested after a three-hour standoff.
