Smash-and-grab burglars hit businesses in Evanston, Wilmette

Police in the northern suburbs. They are investigating a couple of smash and grabs. They happened in both Evanston and Wilmette. First one was in Evanston at Spice House. The Spice House that's on Central Street. Front windows are broken there. No word from their ownership on what was taken inside, if anything. And then the second one happened at Pit and Tap. That is in Wilmette on Wilmette Avenue, right in downtown Wilmette. You can see one of the windows was smashed out there. The owner says that the people who broke in took their cash registers, some tablets, and other items right behind the bar. His security cameras caught it all, though. It was about seven or eight males in hoodies with their hoods up and out of one car. And they jumped out of one kind of a small SUV, a smaller SUV. And we saw try three different doors and start smashing windows. They were in my shop for no more than maybe 90 90 seconds to two minutes, and they knew exactly what they were coming for. They grabbed it, and they got out. All right, no word if anyone has been arrested in either of those two burglaries. All right.
