In an alert, the department says about six or seven women between the ages of 16 and 20 have been robbing the cab drivers at knifepoint this month.
According to the alert, the women get into a cab in Chicago’s downtown area and ask to be taken to the city’s South Side. Police say when they arrive at their destination, they pull out a knife, put a cord around the driver’s neck and demand money before they flee.
