The U.S. Attorney's Office charged six men with conspiracy to commit visa fraud after staging a series of fake robberies across Chicago and its suburbs.
The alleged scams were carried out at restaurants, coffee shops, liquor stores and gas stations in Chicago and the suburbs of Lombard, Elmwood Park, St. Charles, Hickory Hills, River Grove, Lake Villa, and South Holland, as well as restaurants in Rayne, Louisiana, and Belvidere, Tennessee, authorities said.
One of the incidents happened in July 2023 at Bucktown Food & Liquor in Chicago, according to prosecutors. The ruse, however, nearly turned deadly when the clerk was shot. The clerk survived the encounter.
