Chicago thieves target Neiman Marcus, GameStop amid Rittenhouse protests

Thieves reportedly targeted a Neiman Marcus store on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile and a GameStop on the South Side on Friday night as protesters took the streets to oppose Kyle Rittenhouse’s’ acquittal.

Chicago police wouldn’t confirm if the thefts were related to the protests, according to FOX 32 in Chicago.

At the Neiman Marcus, a group of 15 men reportedly rushed into the department store and left in three vehicles with their stolen merchandise.

Protesters across the country expressed their disapproval of the jury’s decision in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Friday. The 18-year-old Illinois resident shot and killed two protesters and wounded another last year during a protest in Kenosha that followed the police-involved shooting and wounding of Jacob Blake.

Kenosha is about 66 miles north of Chicago, along the western shore of Lake Michigan. –  READ MORE
