Overnight Curfew In Place Through Monday In Waukegan
The curfew will be in place from 8 p.m. through 6 a.m. each day through Monday.
LAKE COUNTY, IL — Waukegan will keep its overnight curfew in place through Monday, city officials announced Thursday. The curfew was put in place after looters took to the city's streets and broke into buildings, threw bricks at officers and damaged five squad cars on Sunday night.
Following the reported looting, the curfew was put in place for 8 p.m. through 6 a.m. each day. Those who must go to work during that time, will be able to, according to a statement from Waukegan Mayor Sam Cunningham. Everyone else must be at home.
"For those of you who think you can take advantage of our community, you're wrong," Cunningham said in response to the looting and destruction Sunday night.
