Overview
- Baby, a 10-year-old chihuahua/beagle mix, was taken from a car parked in a Target garage on West Peterson Avenue on Wednesday around 12:40 p.m.
- Police described the suspect as a Black man with long dreadlocks, about 25 to 35 years old, 6 feet to 6-foot-4 and 160–180 pounds, last seen in a white tank top, blue jeans and white shoes.
- Witnesses reported people going through vehicles and said they left in a blue Nissan Rogue with yellow temporary plates and a missing hubcap, while surveillance video captured the vehicle but not legible plate numbers.
- Area Three detectives are investigating and asked anyone with information to call 312-744-8263 or submit an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com using reference JK289402; the owner has posted on social media and is offering a $1,000 reward for Baby’s safe return.
- The case underscores the limits of parking-garage camera footage and shows why fast community tips are often vital to recovering stolen pets.
