CHICAGO (CBS) -- Four people were in custody early Thursday after a robbery on the Near North Side.

At 2:47 a.m., the group approached a 28-year-old man in the 600 block of North State Street and, implying they had a weapon, robbed him of his Apple Watch, according to Chicago Police. The suspects then jumped on the Red Line, traveling south.
