Items recovered from a West Side man accused of selling stolen goods from his home will be available for victims to recover.
Chicago, IL - Victims who have had their belongings stolen as part of a large-scale trafficking ring on the West Side will have the opportunity to recover their items this weekend.
The viewing of the stolen items will be at the Chicago Police 15th District Police Station Community Room at 5701 W. Madison Ave. from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 15 and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 16.
