The burglary of a home on Wrigleyville’s historic Alta Vista Terrace was foiled Monday when a flood of police responded to a neighbor’s 911 call. Three offenders were arrested.

Police got the call reporting three men entering the back door of a landmark home in the 3800 block of Alta Vista at 3PM. Two of the intruders were peeled off of the home’s roof and the third was found hiding in a window well.

Demetrius P. Hill, 18, faces charges of criminal damage to property, criminal trespassing, and violating conditions of bail. The other two arrestees are juveniles.

One-block-long Alta Vista Terrace is listed on the U.S. Register of Historic Places and is a U.S. Historic District and Chicago Landmark.

CPD case HX315626.

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.
