 [BlockClubChicago] Four volunteers with My Block, My Hood, My City were robbed while hanging up Christmas lights in Grand Boulevard on Saturday, the nonprofit and police confirmed.The volunteers were decorating a home near 48th Street and Martin Luther King Drive as part of the nonprofit's annual "Be Part of the Light" event, which aims to decorate homes, buildings and light poles for the holidays along a 12-mile stretch of King Drive. Around 3:50 p.m., four women ages 30-34 were decorating a home near 48th and King Drive when multiple people pulled up in a white SUV and got out, demanding the women's belongings before fleeing with a purse, wallet and a fanny pack, police said.
