Bangers & Lace Burglarized in Wicker Park Pre-Dawn Break-In

The case mirrors a wider pattern of overnight smash-and-grabs under police review.

Overview

  • Chicago police said three people smashed the bar’s glass front door, went inside, and took a cash register or cash.
  • The suspects fled west on Division Street in a white sedan from the 1600 block location, and no one was in custody.
  • Area Five detectives are investigating the burglary, and the amount of money taken remains unknown.
  • The method matches other recent hits that use shattered entrances to grab cash drawers and liquor before speeding off.
  • In Skokie the same morning, a separate liquor store break-in led to a chase and three arrests, with no stated link to the Wicker Park case.
