Man Charged With Burglaries On South, West Sides

CHICAGO (STMW) -- A West Side man was charged with breaking into a pair of homes last week in the West Town and East Pilsen neighborhoods.

About 1 p.m. Sunday, someone spotted Sherwin Degraffenreid carrying tools while leaving a building he'd just burglarized in the 1700 block of West Hubbard, according to Chicago Police.

The 57-year-old was also implicated in a May 9 burglary in the 1600 block of South Jefferson, police said.

Degraffenreid, of the 2800 block of West Fillmore, faces four felony burglary charges. He was on parole for a 2011 burglary conviction, his sixth in Cook County since 1980, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.

He is scheduled to appear in bond court Monday.
