Police on hunt for garage-door-ramming thieves :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime
Earlier this year, thieves used stolen garage door openers to break into garages and rip off things inside.
A pair of South Side thieves aren’t quite as savvy: They’re just ramming open garage doors with an SUV or pickup.
Chicago Police issued a community alert Friday to put people on the lookout for the thieves, who began their tricks earlier this month.
Beginning Nov. 6, the thieves used a red GM SUV or pickup to ram open doors in the Chatham and Avalon Park neighborhoods. The boundaries of the thefts have been 75th Street on the north, 86th Street on the south, LaSalle on the west and Seeley on the east.
The thieves, described as two men between 20 and 25 years old, have swiped tools, radios and yard equipment. Their garage-ramming has also damaged several cars parked inside the garages.
Anyone with information is asked to call Area 2 detectives at (312) 747-8273.
