Hopes that a two-month long burglary spree in our neighborhood would end with yesterday’s capture of three suspects following a brutal Wrigleyville home invasion have been dashed.
Two Boystown residents yesterday reported chasing intruders from their homes and at least one home was burglarized.
Around 7:30 Saturday night, a woman returning to her home in the 900 block of Newport discovered a back window open, her dog barking, and a man running out her back door.
At about the same time, another resident on the same block reported a burglary. (Update: As of 9 o’clock Sunday morning, this man is still waiting for an evidence technician to arrive.)
And, 40 minutes later, a man on the next block over reported that an unknown man had just run out of his apartment in the 900 block of Cornelia.
The Cornelia resident described the offender as being a black man in his mid- to late-20’s who was wearing a gray beanie hat and a gray or blue hoodie.
