Shots fired incident
An Oak Park home was damaged by gunfire last week, according to police.
A round of gunfire broke through an exterior window and struck an interior wall at a home in the 600 block of North Humphrey Avenue, according to police.
The damage was discovered on April 13, but police believe the damage was caused by a shots fired incident that had been investigated nearby in Chicago on April 12, according to police.
The damage to the home is estimated at $700, according to police.
Home burglary
Oak Park police are investigating a home burglary in which thousands in cash and items were stolen.
Burglars reportedly broke through the rear door of an apartment unit in the 1100 block of Chicago Avenue in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 19, according to police.
The burglars ransacked the apartment and stole cash from the home. The total loss from the burglary is estimated at $20,000, according to police.
