Burglars crash 2 vehicles into Chicago boutique mall
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A group of people crashed two vehicles into a River North boutique mall on Tuesday morning, before stealing merchandise from inside.
Police said, around 5:50 a.m., a group of five to six people crashed a pickup truck and a Dodge Charger into a retail building in the 700 block of North Franklin Street.
The building houses Endless Supply, a sneaker and jewelry boutique; The Little Black Dress, Etc., a clothing boutique; and Hall Madden, a custom suit shop.
Police said the burglars stole merchandise and got into the pickup truck and fled the scene, leaving the Charger still inside the building.
No one was injured, and no one was in custody Tuesday morning.
It was not immediately clear how much merchandise was stolen.
Area 3 detectives were investigating.
The owner of the Dodge said his car was stolen from his home in Logan Square. He tracked it down using an AirTag and found the car in the Little Black Dress store.
At the store, workers were left having to clean up hundreds of boxes with sneakers inside. The owner of the store, who didn't want to go on camera, said she thinks the store was targeted because of its high-end merchandise.
