The situation started as an armed robbery investigation in west suburban Cicero, a town spokesperson said. A group of armed suspects stole $70,000 in cash from workers who were servicing a gaming machine at a gas station around 3 p.m. in the 5100 block of West Roosevelt Road.

While responding to the crime, Cicero police located two vehicles believed to be connected to the theft. A pursuit of the suspect vehicles wound through the city of Chicago, at one point moving into downtown before heading back out to the West Side.

Chopper 7 was over the scene when one person was taken away in handcuffs in the Austin neighborhood at West Washington Boulevard and North Kostner Avenue. The Cicero spokesperson later confirmed four people in two separate vehicles were arrested at the scene.
