The first burglary occurred in the 1200 block of West Webster Ave at approximately 3:35 am. The suspect smashed the front door with a rock to gain entry, but police said it was unclear if any property was taken from inside. Less than half an hour later, around 4 a.m., they entered a business in the 800 block of West Webster, where they entered the front door and stole an unknown amount of money.

The latest burglary happened just after 5 a.m. at a sushi restaurant in the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue, where the suspect threw a rock through a window. Police said it was unclear if any property was taken from that incident.

Police believe the same suspect broke into another business in the 1200 block of West Webster between Tuesday and Friday, also using a rock to break the front door, enter and steal an unknown amount of money.
