2 women stole credit cards, threatened another woman at Wicker Park gym, police say

Chicago police are searching for two women they said stole items and threatened another woman at a West Side gym on Friday morning.

It happened shortly after 10:30 a.m. at Salt Fitness Chicago in the 1700 block of North Damen Avenue.

Two women in the class said it was a normal day, until they found out wallets were missing and police were on their way. By the time the 50-minute workout wrapped up, a crime had been committed.

People in the class went to grab their things from the cubbies outside the studio. That's when they found that some things were missing.

The owner of the facility said two suspects, both women, were captured on security cameras walking up the stairs to the studio. Once inside, one of them distracted an employee at the front desk, while the other started rifling through property left in cubbies.

Police said the suspects threatened a 30-year-old woman before leaving with stolen items, including credit cards.

One woman in the class said her wallet was stolen. Within minutes, she noticed about $3,000 in fraudulent charges on her credit and debit cards.

No injuries were reported.

As of Friday, no arrests were made.

Area 5 detectives are investigating.
