Chicago police on Sunday issued an alert about a recent rash of business burglaries in various neighborhoods around the city over the past couple of weeks.

In each incident, two to four burglars have forced their way into a business by breaching the glass door with an expandable pry tool or crowbar, police said. Upon entering, they have rummaged through the businesses and stolen items.

In one incident, one of the burglars pointed a handgun and threatened an unsuspecting person entered the business, police said.

A gray or silver four-door sedan that was previously reported stolen was identified as the getaway car in most of the incidents.

The burglaries happened at the following times and locations:

• 3:20 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, in the 3300 block of North Broadway, East Lakeview.
• 3:32 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, in the 7100 block of North Ridge Boulevard, West Ridge.

The business targeted in the Edison Park incident was Tony's Italian Deli Subs. Police said in that incident, a 68-year-old man walked in through the back and was met by the burglars, who were taking property from inside.

The burglars then showed a gun before leaving the scene in a dark-colored sedan.

The deli shop shared surveillance video of the robbery on their Facebook, showing three masked suspects breaking the front glass door of the shop before entering and taking what appeared to be cash registers. One of the suspects was seen slamming one of the registers on the sidewalk in an attempt to open it.
