Keep yourself safe.
The recent string of crimes occurred primarily on the Northwest Side of Chicago, police said, per CBS Chicago. A total of eight burglaries were reported between May 28, 2022, and June 18, 2022. And unlike what we may think of when it comes to burglaries—black masks and intruders in the dead of night—these crimes are occurring during daylight hours, logged anywhere between 12 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Police have identified two suspects thus far, including a Hispanic man, who is between 150 and 160 pounds, between 30 and 40 years old, and roughly 5 feet 4 inches tall, CBS Chicago reported. A second suspect is a white man who is roughly 200 pounds, between 48 and 55 years old, and 5 feet 8 inches tall. According to Chicago Police, the pair traveled in a gray SUV.To keep yourself protected, police ask that you take certain preventative measures.
While it may be tempting to keep doors unlocked when you're at home, police warn against this and ask that you keep both front and back doors securely locked at all times. In addition, refrain from allowing strangers to enter your home, and if you have security cameras or a Ring doorbell, ensure that they are both working and recording. If you are a victim of a crime, this footage can be invaluable in identifying perpetrators.
Keep your guard up and take note of any suspicious people that may be"loitering" in your neighborhood or local area. Also, make sure your neighbors are aware of these crimes, so they can keep themselves safe as well. If your home is robbed, the CPD asks that you call 911 immediately, provide a detailed description of the suspects, and try to collect any vehicle or license plate information.
