Chicago police have issued a community alert warning businesses about brazen crash-and-grab burglaries.
Police said there have been at least four crash-and-grab burglaries in the past three days in the South Loop, River North, River East and East Village.
The owner of that store, Boneyard Chicago, said he even hired private security overnight to deter a crime like this from taking place, but to no avail. He said the security guard was held up at gunpoint before a Jeep Grand Cherokee went barreling into the store. That's when at least half a dozen people in hoodies rob the store.
