Southport: Smash-n-grab burglars strike Bluemercury

Bluemercury on Southport. | Yelp

You probably already know about the string of smash-and-grab burglaries in which crews of thieves are breaking through glass doors to steal high-end bicycles from retailers on the North Side between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

Well, this morning, there’s a twist.

Around 5:50 a.m. on Wednesday, a motorist reported seeing two masked men hauling garbage cans full of cosmetics through the broken glass door of Bluemercury, 3512 North Southport.

The thieves loaded tubs of beauty products into a pick-up truck and then sped southbound through a nearby alley before turning west on Cornelia, the witness said. No one is in custody. Area North detectives are investigating.

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.
