CHICAGO<\/strong> – Burglars crashed a vehicle into a South Side DTLR store early Thursday before stealing Jordan shoes and fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n

Community activist Patrick Gibbons identified the targeted business as the DTLR store at 71st and Jeffery.<\/p>\n

In a statement, he said the suspects stole “a large number of Jordan shoes” during the burglary.<\/p>\n

Gibbons also called the burglary part of “a troubling pattern of crimes targeting small businesses, particularly on the South and West Sides.” He pointed to staffing shortages within the Chicago Police Department and urged Mayor Brandon Johnson to hire more officers.<\/p>\n

“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities,” Gibbons said. “Without a stronger and more cohesive safety plan from City Hall, we risk losing more than just storefronts \u2014 we risk losing hope.”<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

Area One detectives are investigating.<\/p>\n
