Area North detectives yesterday issued another alert to warn Lakeview residents of home burglaries. The alert focuses on six incidents, although many more break-ins have been reported.
The six listed break-ins occurred:
- January 29 in the 1300 block of W. Eddy around 6:45PM
- February 2 in the 1300 block of W. Eddy between 6AM and 6PM
- February 5 in the 3200 block of N. Clifton between 6PM and 9PM

- February 7 in the 1100 block of W. Addison between 2AM and 3AM
- February 15 in the 1200 block of W. Melrose between 5:30AM and 10:30PM
While police have made several burglary arrests in recent weeks, break-ins continue to plague the area. Lakeview burglaries were up 80% in January compared to the same month last year.
In the 44th ward, which includes most of Wrigleyville and Boystown, burglaries were up over 100% last month.
