In late January, an unknown offender broke into the McKillip Animal Hospital, 2867 North Clark, to steal cash and animal narcotics. Police said the suspect came prepared for the job: He had plastic bags ready to cover the hospital’s security cameras.
Alert Issued
Detectives on Friday issued a community alert after determining that three recent business burglaries in the 19th (Town Hall) District may be related.Police said an unknown offender is breaking glass windows or doors to gain entry after businesses close. Once inside, they help themselves to property, the alert said.
The three connected cases happened on January 21 or 22 in the 2700 block of North Clybourn; around 6:30 a.m. on January 27 in the 1800 block of West Wilson; and on February 6 or 7 in the 1400 block of West Irving Park.
Police described the suspect only as “male.”
The alert suggests that people pay particular attention to suspicious people who seem to be loitering and recommended that businesses have a well-maintained surveillance system.
