Two crime stories on New Years Eve

I wish everyone a happy and safe New Years. Here are some stories that was written in the media regarding incidents in our community

Chicago State accountant charged with theft:
While Laverne Sanders, 52, of the 7600 block of Calumet Avenue in Chicago, worked in the university cashier's office between April and August, she collected an estimated $15,604 in checks and $3,985 in student payments, prosecutors said.

She was responsible for depositing all the money but kept the cash, prosecutors said. When asked by university employees about the money, she admitted to taking $800 but said she didn't know what happened to the rest, prosecutors said. Sanders is free on $100,000 bail.
Pants robbery in Park Manor:
Three or four armed men wearing ski masks forced their way into a home at 6835 S. Champlain Ave. about 1:10 a.m. and ordered all 11 people inside to remove their pants, police said.

The robbers then shot one of eleven, 33-year-old man, in the leg. He was taken to University of Chicago Hospitals and is expected to survive, police said. Police said the man did not believe the gun was real prior to the shooting.

The robbers then fled the home with televisions and the pants, police said.

Police said the robbers apparently made the victims remove their pants so they could steal their wallets and other belongings as well as to prevent them from pursuing the robbers when they fled.

The incident is possibly drug-related, police said.
