Disturbance reported at Five Below store, Chicago IL

Assault

As discussed during the dispatch call, officers responded to a report of a possible assault at the Five Below store near 87th Street in Chicago. Radio traffic indicated a group of people may have been fighting or arguing with store staff. Later transmissions suggested the situation might have been limited to a verbal disturbance, and no confirmed assault victims were reported. A separate third-party call mentioned a possible robbery and a speeding vehicle, but this was unclear and did not appear to involve the same incident.
