Evanston Police Department officers responded Sunday evening to a report of robbery in an alley on the 2600 block of Ridge Avenue in north Evanston.

A 15-year-old Evanston resident stepped outside into the alley to sell an e-cigarette he had found earlier in the day and was confronted by two other male teenagers, both around 14 years of age, said Evanston Police Cmdr. Ryan Glew.

The other two boys punched the 15-year-old, then took his iPhone 6 and $13 in cash and fled the scene on bicycles. The 15-year-old was left with minor injuries and immediately told his parents about the incident, Glew said.

He did not recognize the other two boys, Glew added.

Garage kicked in, nothing stolen

EPD officers responded to a report of a garage that was kicked in around the 1000 block of Sheridan Road in south Evanston on Saturday morning.

The 71-year-old male Evanston resident said the break-in occurred between 10 p.m. on Oct. 12 and and 8:50 a.m. on Saturday.

The garage door was secured by a locked deadbolt, and whoever broke in used force and caused damage to the door, Glew said. He added that two vehicles inside the garage were locked, and nothing was taken.
