Chicago police are warning businesses in the River North and Near North neighborhoods about a string of burglaries in which computers and laptops were stolen, according to a community alert.
About ten burglaries were reported since mid November, police said. The burglars forced their way inside the business through a window or a door and took the property before fleeing, police said.
Most of the burglaries happened during the late evening to early morning hours. Several happened overnight or in the afternoon.
