A former Chicago Police sergeant was convicted Wednesday of robbing drug dealers of dope and money over six years, while he was on the force.

Prosecutors say Larry Hargrove, 60, was part of a four-man crew that ordered dealers to turn over drugs and cash during raids on apartments, hotel rooms, homes and vehicles. In some instances, the crew drew up fake warrants, signing them with the names of fake judges. The incidents happened from 1993 to 1999, the year Hargrove retired as a cop.
