CHICAGO — For the past few weeks, residents of a North Side neighborhood have grown tired of a prowler who has been breaking into garages and snooping around yards.

One of many residents who’ve posted video of the thief on the Ring network said he’s been seen in so many surveillance clips lately he “seems to be a regular TV star throughout the neighborhood.”

His neighborhood fame got a boost on Sunday night when Chicago police detectives released a couple of surveillance images and asked the public to help identify him.

The photos released by CPD show the man burglarizing a garage in the 1800 block of West Balmoral around 2:30 a.m. on November 29. Police said he got two bikes, an electric cargo bike and DeWalt tools and chargers.

CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings. Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas.
