A Univision Chicago camera crew’s assignment reporting from the scene of a series of armed robberies on the 1200 block of North Milwaukee Ave got a little too meta early Monday when they themselves were robbed of their equipment and cash at gunpoint, the Chicago Sun Times reports.
A reporter and a cameraman were filming on the block when at least three men in ski masks jumped out of two vehicles and made off with what was probably some pretty pricey equipment. It does not appear Sun Times staff then visited the spot for their own reporting on the robberies, instead relying on accounts from the Univision crew, cops, and the president of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians Local 41. But Fox News should definitely go check it out.
