CHICAGO (CBS) -- Police are looking for the thieves who crashed into a West Side Austin neighborhood store and took off.
A car crashed through the Game Stop on Cicero Avenue near North Avenue around 4:30 a.m.
Police say the car was stolen, and an unknown amount of merchandise was taken from the store.
People who work nearby say this is not the first time a business in that area has been hit.

The store manager fears if the thieves aren't caught, they will return.
