Rash Of Burr Ridge Car Break-Ins Reported

BURR RIDGE, IL – Fifteen cars were burglarized overnight Thursday in Burr Ridge, with most of the incidents in hotel parking lots, police said.

The stolen items included a handgun, wallets, small amounts of change, tools and sunglasses, Deputy Police Chief David Allen said in an email to Patch.

A car that was stolen in Willowbrook was used to commit the burglaries, he said. It was later recovered elsewhere.

In each break-in, a window was broken to gain entry, with pickup trucks, mostly with out-of-state license plates, targeted, he said.

No one has been arrested.
