Three 7-Eleven stores were robbed at gunpoint minutes apart on the North and Northwest sides early Friday, bringing to at least 12 the number of 7-Eleven stores hit this week in Chicago.
The first robbery Friday occurred around 1:50 a.m. in the 1500 block of West Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. Two gunmen entered the store and demanded the clerk open the cash register, police said. The clerk complied and the robbers fled a blue SUV.
