Police today are seeking two men who allegedly
abducted a Skokie woman from her home Wednesday night, took her to
the North Side currency exchange where she worked and forced her to
open the doors so they could rob the business, WGN-Ch. 9
reported.
The incident occurred about 10:30 p.m., when the
armed men forced the woman to accompany them to the New Granville
Broadway Currency Exchange, at 6165 N. Broadway in the city's Rogers
Park neighborhood, WGN reported.
There, the alleged
assailants forced the woman to open the exchange's inner
doors.
Once inside, the men locked the woman and a co-worker
in a bathroom, took cash and got away in a car, WGN reported. Police
later recovered the vehicle, but the men were nowhere to be
found.
Police said the woman was shaken by the incident, but
otherwise unhurt.
