CHICAGO — A group of burglars is using an SUV to rip the doors off businesses so they can steal ATMs, Chicago police said in a new community alert. The crew targeted at least four businesses in December.
CPD said up to eight people were involved in the crimes. They put a chain on the front doors or shutters of a business and attached the other end of the chain to an SUV, police said. Once the chain is secure, the SUV’s driver accelerates, ripping the business open.
