Interesting. 2-3 Days after the original community organization alert posted. Hmmmm
After North Ave Beach fiasco, one has to wonder if this was going to get released at all, and if this forced the police to reveal their hand and release the information? Kudos to those involved if so.
everyone should know about this website:

it's full of horrible news that's happening in Chicago these days. here I thought the S. Loop was immune... stupid me.
we all need to be very careful and insist the police can do their jobs and "serve and protect".
I've been going to 12th Street beach for years and there is an increased police presence this summer. This past week in less than 2 hours I saw a police officer on an ATV, 2 officers on bikes, 2 officers on horses, and there was a squad car parked next to the beach house for a short time. I was amazed to see 6-8 different police officers in such a short period of time in one place.
See below message:
Please join our Community Policing Personnel in a neighborhood walk
through Beat 133. We will meet at Women's Park (1801 S. Indiana), 3
pm on Saturday, July 16th.
Not only will we show solidarity regarding safety in our community, we
will also be taking the time to look for vehicles in the area which
may contain visible personal property. Owners of these vehicles will
be sent a notice urging them to keep all property out of sight. This
will help address the theft from vehicle issues.

I just heard they may have caught the folks. If this is true, it will take the eye witness (or witnesses) to show up in court to prosecute. PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED as we should all try to go to the court date as a show of support.
Suspects in custody.
