A crew of burglars smashed the two back doors and made their way inside Las Picosas Mexican restaurant near 64th and Pulaski on Wednesday before they hit another place down the block.
CHICAGO -- Businesses in the West Lawn neighborhood are demanding more police patrols, saying they've been repeatedly targeted by smash-and-grab burglars. Surveillance video shows two masked suspects breaking into Las Picosas around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. Their attempts to get into the back office door with a hammer were unsuccessful.'This happens often, especially in this area, and around holiday season it gets worse,' said owner Victor Sanchez.
He said his restaurant hasn't been the only target.'Our next-door tenants, DolEx, Domino's, Zacatacos; a couple of business around this area,' he said.Staff at DolEx Financial Services next door said multiple suspects tried breaking in about two months ago. The owner at Zacatacos on 71st and Pulaski said they were hit less than an hour after the burglary at Las Picosas on Wednesday, and again less than two weeks before that.
