Smash-and-grab at Portage Park store on Milwaukee Ave.; gunfire reported last week on Mason Ave.
Two stolen vehicles were used as part of a smash-and-grab burglary at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, at Randee’s Foods and Liquors, 4319-21 N. Milwaukee Ave., according to 16th (Jefferson Park) District police.
One of the cars was used to smash into the storefront, while the five burglars later fled in a waiting Dodge Durango, which also had been reported stolen, according to police.
A list of what was stolen from the store was not immediately available, police said.
The burglars were described only as male and Black, police said.
Also in the 16th District, shots were fired at about 1 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, in the 4200 block of North Mason Avenue in the Portage Park area, police said. Officers found seven spent 9-millimeter shell casings near the intersection of Mason and Cullom avenues, police said.
A witness reported that the gunfire appeared to come from the occupants of a black Cadillac sedan, police said. One of the occupants reportedly appeared to be recording with a cell phone, police said.
An undercover sting operation reportedly led to a prostitution-related arrest at about 8:45 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, at a massage establishment at 7008 W. Belmont Ave. in the Dunning area, police said. The business was issued several citations, police said.
Tools, valued at about $2,000, were reported stolen from a vehicle at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 18, while it was parked in 6900 block of West Farragut Avenue in the Union Ridge area, police said.
Surveillance footage showed that four people exited a black sedan wearing face masks and broke the driver’s side window, police said.
