Cook County sheriff's task force uses all means to bust retail theft in Chicago
CHICAGO -- The Cook County Sheriff's Office's Organized Retail Crime Task Force is cracking down on thefts and burglaries that have been plaguing shopping districts across the Chicago area. The task force isn't only responding to thefts on retail strips such as the Magnificent Mile or making arrests. They are working directly with businesses to understand what they are dealing with—and what they can do to help.
In February of this year, Austin was also arrested on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery, and aggravated battery after authorities said he attacked a Chicago Transit Authority train passenger and took his cellphone. Austin was wanted on an active warrant at the time. Doyle was charged with robbery in 2022 after authorities said he took six Chanel gift sets from a Macy's store and struck an employee who tried to apprehend him. Ware said it was hard to track down the suspects.
