Northwest Side Chicago liquor store hires security after thieves keep coming back

CHICAGO -- A Logan Square neighborhood liquor store has taken a new security approach after being targeted by thieves five different times in the last 10 days.Red Star Liquor & Deli, 2725 N. Milwaukee Ave., has been a staple in the community for more than 30 years. Now, for the first time ever, security officers are manning the property.'We've got to do what we can do to protect our property, you know?' said owner Esam Hani. 'But we can't close down either.

In the fifth incident on Tuesday afternoon, several men in face masks were seen on camera—along with a woman with a baby in a stroller.'And they would walk in and literally go to the shelves. As you can see, my shelves are completely empty on this side,' Hani said, pointing out a whole section of the store that remained bare two days later. 'They would go straight for the tequila, mostly, or the expensive bottles.
