Police: Man Burglarized 4 Stores on Clybourn Corridor

Bail was set at $90,000 this week for a South Side man accused of burglarizing four businesses over the weekend in the nearby Clybourn Corridor.

Devalia Brown, 38, would need to post 10 percent of that value, or $9,000, in order to be released. He appeared in bond court Monday on burglary charges, according to the Cook County Sheriff's Office.

Police say Brown broke in early Saturday to Supercuts, Palm Beach Tan, Dirk's Fish Market and Sprint. All are in the 2000 block of North Clybourn Avenue. 

Authorities caught up with him when an alarm sounded in the Sprint store, according to Chicago Police News Affairs.

They arrived and found the businesses with broken windows and doors, they said.

Brown was arrested nearby. Police said they found him in possession of "burglary proceeds."

Police have issued several alerts in recent weeks regarding residential burglaries in the city's 18th policing district, most of which were in the Near North area. 

"The No. 1 crime in our neighborhood is unforced entry … open doors and windows," 43rd Ward Ald. Michele Smith said Tuesday evening at a Lincoln Park community meeting. "The  second most common is forced entry."
