Overnight burglaries captured on video in Chicago's South Side

On Thursday morning, Chicago police began investigating a series of burglaries that occurred on the South Side. The first incident took place around 5 a.m. at Express Beauty Supply in Chatham, where a group of four individuals used a pickup truck to force entry. Surveillance footage revealed one burglar clearing the cash register while others stole merchandise and attempted to access an ATM. They fled the scene in the same truck. Later that morning, the same group targeted DannysBuyback.Com Acceptance Center in Roseland, breaking the glass door to gain entry. They made off with over $10,000 worth of electronics, including televisions and gaming consoles. This incident was particularly alarming for the business owners, as it marked the sixth burglary in just four months, despite their efforts to secure the premises with metal posts and steel bars. Police have not confirmed whether the two burglaries are connected, but they did recover the truck used in the electronics theft in Auburn Gresham. Additionally, a broken ATM, potentially linked to another burglary, was found nearby. As of now, no arrests have been made, leaving the community concerned about ongoing criminal activity. The repeated targeting of local businesses raises questions about the effectiveness of security measures and the broader issue of crime in the area. Business owners are left feeling vulnerable and frustrated as they continue to face significant losses due to theft.
