8th District Police Burglary

From In and Around Garfield Ridge


A pair of home burglaries Friday in Chicago has police combing the streets. They're not typical break-ins. They happened at the homes of two Chicago police officers.

CBS 2's Pamela Jones reports that thieves got away with a 0.9 mm handgun, ammunition, a gun belt, a Chicago Police Department star and body armor vest -- all from one officer's home on the Southwest side.

About three miles away, also on the Southwest side, thieves hit another officer's home. Sometime between 4:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., they rummaged through two cars in the garage. Police say they took a stereo, a Chicago Police Department uniform shirt and name plate and a pair of handcuffs.


They are targeting the police. This is a concern for our neighborhood. This does not sound like a normal burglary. This sounds like someone had a specific target. Watch your neighbors home. Watch your back, officers, when you are on your way home. If you can help it, change your behavior patterns so that people do not get used to how you operate. Garfield Ridge is not that far away and it is one of the neighborhoods that MTGP listed as the last remaining safe neighborhoods on the southside...and the criminal element knows this. They also know about Mt. Greenwood.

Also, if you didn't already see- 2 Chicago Police Squad cars were set on fire early this morning as well.

From Chicago Breaking News



The Chicago Police Bomb and Arson Unit is investigating the torching of two locked and parked police vehicles on the Northwest Side early this morning, police said.

The first instance occurred about 2:15 a.m. in the Big Oaks neighborhood, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak. In that case a marked 2006 Crown Victoria K-9 unit vehicle was set on fire, police said.

About five minutes later in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, an unmarked police vehicle was set on fire, police said.

Chicago Fire Department crews were called to both incidents and extinguished the flames. No one was injured.

It did not appear that anyone made it inside the unoccupied vehicles to steal anything from them, police said.

Officials are treating the incidents as arson, police said.

Also , judging from the video it does not look like Garfield Ridge. I wish they would be more specific than just saying 8th district.

Old saying:

No one ever got the drop on a paranoid person.

Be alert.

These shit heads are getting bolder and bolder. They 8th dist. is huge and very busy and most of the beat cars are stuck on the east end tending to the hopeless coloreds. I just think people need to start looking out for their own its the only way to keep the garbage out. If you see anything that doesnt look right or that doesnt belong dont turn your back and call 911. Watch the people that dont belong take down plates call friends that are cops and if you own a gun use it if you have the chance. If these shitheads start getting new holes in them their animal friends will think twice about leaving the ghetto.

hopeless coloreds??? I think you need to belong to a different era--I have many black police friends who would gladly put their life on the line for me and my white ass--and by the way those same black officers would also risk their lives for your dumb ass!!
