“On the retail side, in late 2010 to the first quarter of 2011, there was definitely an uptick in reports of groups of young people periodically doing this theft activity,” says John Chikow, CEO of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Assn. “It seemed to come to a boil in February, when it was starting to look like a pattern.”
At that point, he says, the retailers began “better coordinating” with the Chicago Police Department and ramping up private security. The police have also begun monitoring social media sites. As a result, multiple sources say large-scale organized theft along Michigan Avenue has decreased in the past few months.
I read this as "hose patrol" at first...
I saw the ATV patrols too.
So just avoid weekends and holidays, head to Edgewater or Rogers Park MYOB and have fun at the beach.
The police should also be monitering the points of entry tO the beach.
Red line stops at Chicago Ave. Ave. Division/North
Blue line Grand Ave.
North Ave. bus directly to the beach intersecting with Red, Blue lines.
Red and Blue run 24/7 so don't get lost in your I-pad/phone or wear your earbuds. Pay attention! and be safe peoples.
TV news tonight reported two more of these assaults around UIC. One was at Racine and Roosevelt and the other nearby.
