People living in Dunning and surrounding areas were woken up on Sunday by what they describe as the sound of a saw. For Maria Ciaccio on West Grace Street, that was the sound of her catalytic converter being stolen from her Prius in less than a minute.Surveillance video shared exclusively with ABC7 shows the swift action of three people driving near Grace and Melvina in a black sedan around 6 a.m. before stealing the catalytic converter from the Prius.
"I'm so lucky to have such awesome neighbors," Ciaccio said. "She pushed the button on her keys to make her car alarm go off, and she called 911 immediately." In each of the incidents, neighbors said the offenders use a black sedan while wearing a mask and dark clothing. Many of them said they're shocked at just how fast it all happens.The other incidents were reported near North Moody Street in Norwood Park and West Argyle in Jefferson Park, targeting Hyundais and Priuses.
