Man busted for breaking into car; his "baby mama" is not charged


Police Activity

 A Chicago man was charged with criminal trespass to a vehicle after an incident at the Extended Stay of America, 1525 E. Busch Pkwy.  Reports note that police were summoned to the motel on a report of vehicle theft. Responding officers spotted the vehicle in the motel’s parking lot when the charged man exited the vehicle. Upon noticing officers, the man, reports note, began to walk away from the car at which time police were able to apprehend him. He later told police that he had no involvement with the theft and that he was staying at the hotel, note reports, “with his baby mama.” He told police he stepped outside to have a cigarette. The man who reported the vehicle missing told police that the car was left unlocked, with the keys in it and, for good measure, the engine running. 
** Who were those unmasked people? Police responded to several complaints of people violating the state’s face mask/covering mandate. Officers responded to calls as Mariano’s, Walgreens in response to anonymous callers’ complaints. Police were also doing spot checks and reminding store employees to tell customers to wear face coverings pursuant to the village order.
** Tires slashed.  A Buffalo Grove woman living in the 700 block of Trace Drive reported to police that three of her tires were slashed or cut. There were no surveillance cameras in the parking lot.
** Things must go better with Coke -- Employees at Woodman’s, 1550 Deerfield Pkwy., reported to police that a man was seen on videotape taking two 1.75-liter bottles of Don Julio Reposado tequila off the shelf and leaving without paying for them, which is why they contacted police. Reports say the man purchased some items and said “have a nice day” as he wheeled his cart out the door.  As he left, employees realized he had concealed the bottles of tequila. Reports also note that the man left with a 24-pack of Coca Cola.  The man is apparently a regular as employees recognized him from a previous visit when he, ready, stole alcohol.  It must be the real thing.
