Thieves Strike Unlocked Cars Throughout Beverly, Morgan Park

CHICAGO, IL - Several vehicles that were left unlocked in Beverly and Morgan Park this month have been burglarized. Chicago police have sent out yet another community alert urging residents to lock their cars before they go to bed, as all nine incidents reported this month occurred during the overnight hours between midnight at 6 a.m.

The thieves have been walking through the neighborhood and pulling on car door handles, according to police. When they find an unlocked car, they enter and take "property from within."

It wasn't clear what kind of items were taken from the cars in the nine incidents reported in September, but police did indicate the blocks that have been targeted and on which dates. The thefts have occurred throughout all parts of the neighborhood in Morgan Park, Beverly and West Beverly.
