 A Chicago television team was on scene covering equipped thefts. Then they got looted, police say.

While on the scene covering a new spate of equipped burglaries in upper east Chicago on Monday, police said a two-man television group became survivors of a furnished robbery themselves.

A Univision Chicago reporter and photographer were filming in the 1200 block of North Milwaukee Avenue just before 5 a.m., according to information from the Chicago Police Department and the journalists' news outlet.

The region is under five miles upper east of downtown in the city's Wicker Park area, and known for its shopping, restaurants, feasting and nightlife.

Chicago police representative Kellie Bartoli told USA TODAY the attack included aa 28-year-elderly person and a 42-year-elderly person, who were outside on the road when a dark SUV and a dim car moved toward them.

Two vehicles, three covered men and a robbery

At the point when the two vehicles halted, police detailed, three unidentified guys left the two vehicles wearing ski covers and holding guns.

"The wrongdoers then took the casualties' possessions prior to getting back to the vehicles and escaping southward," Bartoli said.

The casualties were not harmed.

Thankfully, the team is protected," Luis Godinez, neighborhood VP of Information for Univision Chicago told USA TODAY Tuesday.

A news camera, two bags containing equipment and personal belongings, and other items were taken by masked men, according to the outlet.

Police didn't deliver the casualties' names and the power source was not delivering the names of the group in question "because of security reasons."

Police didn't give extra insights regarding the suspect's depiction.

Starting around Tuesday morning, Bartoli said, no capture had been put forth in the defense which stayed being scrutinized by analysts.
