Evelyn HolmesA brazen burglary crew has targeted businesses in several Chicago neighborhoods every month this year except April. So far they have successfully ripped off dozens of electrical, plumbing and tool supply businesses, including one in Portage Park six times. They were targeted again Tuesday morning.
Security video from Tuesday morning shows a trio of thieves unsuccessfully trying to steal again after hitting the business in the 4300-block of North Kilpatrick on Mother's Day.. So far the thieves, who are sometimes armed, have managed to pull off more than three dozen heists since January. B.E. Atlas appears to be a favorite target. One burglary from March was captured on surveillance videos.
"What we're worried about is, is the community members, the customers and the residents who have been living here for a long time, what if they're so afraid they're going to move out?" said Trudy Leong of the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce.
