Teens Charged in Planned After-Hours Burglary at Chicago’s State Street Macy’s

Investigators point to a recovered hand-drawn plan as proof of premeditation.

Overview

  • Sheriff’s police responded Feb. 2 to the Macy’s at 111 N. State Street after employees reviewed overnight surveillance showing two people emerging from the closed store.
  • The Community Safety Team later located two teenagers wearing some of the stolen clothing and took them into custody.
  • Authorities say the teens admitted hiding inside to steal items, with one teen mapping the scheme on paper; deputies recovered the map.
  • Officers executed a search warrant at one teen’s residence and recovered stolen sunglasses and cologne.
  • Both suspects were charged with burglary and released to their legal guardians, with identities withheld because they are minors.
