Thieves target more smoke shops in Logan Square, West Loop
CHICAGO (CBS) – Thieves are targeting more smoke shops, this time in the Logan Square and West Loop neighborhoods.
Police say three unknown men exited a silver-in-color vehicle and smashed the front glass window of one of the businesses, located in the 2600 block of North Kedzie Avenue around 8:35 a.m. on Saturday.
The offenders attempted to gain entry but were unsuccessful and fled in an unknown direction.
The Smokenclouds shop, located in the 1000 block of West Madison Street, tells CBS 2 they were also burglarized overnight and their windows were smashed.
At least four other smoke shops were burglarized on Wednesday when burglars used a sledgehammer to smash windows before taking off with merchandise, cash registers, and in one case, a safe.
No one is in custody.
Area Five detectives are investigating.
