Someone stole a 13-year-old Evanston resident’s iPod and cell phone Tuesday after they were left unattended on Lee Street Beach, 1111 Lake Shore Blvd., police said.
The victim left a purse containing a $300 iPod, a $300 BlackBerry phone and $50 in cash on the beach at 5:30 p.m. When she returned to the beach a half-hour later, the items were missing, Evanston Police Department Cmdr. James Elliot said.
There were no witnesses, and the girl told police she did not see anyone in the area, Elliot said.
There are no leads.
