Chicago Police Link 10 Business Burglaries, Release Crash-and-Grab Video

The alert outlines a coordinated pattern using pry tools plus stolen vehicles across multiple neighborhoods.

Overview

  • Newly released footage shows a dark sedan ramming a Humboldt Park storefront before a white van arrived and at least seven people looted clothing and shoes.
  • Detectives tied that crash-and-grab to a Nov. 9 burglary on West Madison in Garfield Park and a Nov. 10 hit on North Kedzie in Humboldt Park.
  • A separate citywide alert lists 10 business break-ins from Nov. 5, 7 and 15 in Lakeview, West Ridge, the Loop, South Loop, West Loop, Near West Side, Norwood Park, Edison Park and Avondale.
  • Police say crews typically pry through glass doors and flee in a stolen gray or silver four-door sedan, describing suspects as masked males ranging from teens in the video cases to two men 20–30 in the broader series.
  • Tony’s Italian Deli & Subs in Edison Park was robbed early Saturday when three burglars threatened the owner’s husband at gunpoint before escaping in a dark sedan, and police are seeking tips to Area detectives or CPDTIP.com using references P25-4-026 and 25-CWP-034.
