Prosecutors say 30-year-old Eriberto Orozco accessed six apartments in the complex, located in the 6100 block of North Sheridan Road, since October. They say he took $7,000 cash from one unit. Diamond and ruby rings from another. And a Rolex watch from another.

It’s the Rolex that got him caught. According to court records, police last month determined that Orozco pawned the woman’s watch at a Northwest Side jewelry store for $1,500. After that, the cases came together quickly.
