Video: Suspects loot Mag Mile store in August

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Chicago police released surveillance video Monday of several people wanted for stealing from a Near North Side business during looting in August.

The video appears to show the suspects stealing from a business in the 500 block of North Michigan Avenue about 3 a.m., Aug. 10, Chicago police said in a statement.

They are among hundreds of people suspected of looting downtown shops that morning throughout Chicago, less than a day after rumors spread following a police shooting in Englewood.

Weeks before — in late May — looting broke out in the downtown and other parts of the city during protests related to George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.

Over the last several weeks, police have shared dozens of photos and videos of suspected looters.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Area Three Looting Task Force at 312-744-8263 or email 630LootingTaskForce@chicagopolice.org.
