According to an alert from the Chicago Police Department, twice in the past month, people waiting on Uber rides have been robbed.
The incidents were reported earlier this month in River North and Old Town. In both of those incidents, police say two men in a black car pull up and invite the person waiting for a lift into their car. Then, the suspects rob them of their debit cards and pin number information.
