A television crew reporting on a series of robberies in a Chicago neighborhood got to experience the crime wave firsthand.

The team, a 28-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman who work for Spanish-language Univision Chicago, had a video camera and other personal belongings stolen on Monday by three armed men wearing ski masks in West Town, according to Luis Godinez, vice president of news at the station.
