Eight offenders stormed out of the Sports Authority store at Clark and Barry with 50 athletic jackets worth an estimated $2,000 at 3:15 Saturday afternoon.
The thieves, described only as male and black, escaped southbound in an older white or gray Pontiac van.
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.
