A man charged with two residential burglaries last month is now accused of committing even more burglaries in the months before he got caught.
Chicago cops arrested James McClain, 37, last month for allegedly burglarizing a residential building in the 5800 block of North Kenmore twice in February. They arrested him again a few days ago after he appeared at the Skokie courthouse for a routine hearing in that case.
Prosecutors now say he’s the guy who burglarized three residential buildings in Lakeview and Uptown this winter.
On December 18, he allegedly took a bike after breaking into an apartment building in the 3000 block of North Southport.
On January 16, he stole another bike while burglarizing a condo building in the 2800 block of North Halsted, prosecutors said.
And on February 27, he allegedly stole $2,500 worth of Super Mario figurines from a storage area of a condo building in the 4700 block of North Kenmore.
Judge Susana Ortiz released McClain on the new charges, but he will be on 24/7 electronic monitoring.
