Two Andersonville businesses were targeted by burglars early Saturday, police said. The same crew is suspected of pulling off both break-ins.

First, two men broke through the front door of Skywalker shoes, 5668 North Clark around 3:25 a.m. The men collected boxes of athletic shoes and escaped in a white compact car, possibly a Volkswagen. Police said both offenders were covered in black and were wearing gloves.

Then, around 3:50 a.m., a burglar broke into Andersonville Wine and Spirits at 5201 North Clark. No further information was immediately available from police about the case except that property was taken from the store.
