The first of four incidents took place near the intersection of Throckmorton and Cedar Springs.

Police are urging people who will be going out in Oak Lawn this weekend to be aware of their surroundings and don’t walk alone as a result of a number of incidents near bars and restaurants over the past week. They also would like anyone who has been the victim of a crime to come forward and file a police report.

The operator will take your information so an officer can get back to you to make an appointment for an officer to come to you to take the report.
