Thieves use SUV to smash into high-end sneaker store in Chicago
CHICAGO -- Thieves used an SUV as a battering ram to break into a high-end sneaker store overnight in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood.Police said five to six people in an SUV crashed through the front door and security gate of Flee Club near Taylor Street and Oakley Boulevard around 4:30 a.m.The burglars then stole merchandise from inside the store and got into several waiting cars to flee the scene, leaving the SUV behind.
Two weeks later, another burglary crew stole $70,000 in merchandise after using crowbars like golf clubs to smash through the windows.This time, Flee Club's owners estimated it would cost $20,000 just to replace the broken glass at the store, and because of previous break-ins, they are no longer covered by any insurance company. They have yet to determine how much merchandise was stolen, because the building has been deemed a structural risk.'We need help.
