CHICAGO – Chicago Police are warning of burglaries of businesses in the Chicago area, including Goose Island, Ukrainian Village, East Village, Fulton Market District, and Pilsen.

What we know:

In each incident, the offender arrived to the location on a scooter and breaks the front glass door with an object. In some incidents, the offender uses a crowbar or pry bar to enter the rear doors of the business. Once inside, the offender takes cash from the register and leaves. In incidents when the offender cannot open the register, they take it with them and force it open elsewhere to get to the cash, leaving the empty register in an alley.

The offender is described as an 18–39 year-old, 5-6′ tall, 200–250 lbs. man with a medium brown complexion.
