Burglars Use Distractions to Break In | Chicago News

A new wave of burglaries is hitting the neighborhood, with suspects using fake emergencies like “neighbor’s house on fire” to distract homeowners. In the latest incident, a masked suspect in a gray hoodie tried to break in near 83rd Street and County Line Road, but the homeowner called 911 after sensing something off. Police warn these crews often target older residents or those outside, posing as utility workers or contractors. Stay alert, lock doors, and trust your gut—if something feels wrong, it probably is.
