A resident in the 700 block of W. Buckingham called 911 when he saw an intruder climb his neighbor’s fence and hop on an air conditioning unit in an apparent burglary attempt around 12:45 this morning.
Officers were on the scene in less than a minute.
The would-be burglar was scared off by the neighbor who could not offer a description.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
