CHICAGO (CBS) — A 16-year-old girl has been charged with robbing two women on CTA Pink Line trains earlier this month, spraying one of the victims with pepper spray.
Police said the girl stole a 19-year-old woman’s cell phone on a Pink Line train on May 4. She also allegedly stole a 20-year-old woman’s cell phone on a Pink Line train on May 8, then struck her and sprayed her with pepper spray before running off the train.
