Burglar breaks into Supercuts in Evanston
A burglar broke into Supercuts late Friday night in south Evanston, Evanston Police said.
A neighboring employee observed that the front door of the barbershop in the 600 block of Chicago Avenue was smashed and called the police, EPD Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. Officers believe someone forced a way into the store by creating a hole in the front door.
Parrott said the cash register drawer was open but does not know what was taken.
EPD has boarded up the shop door while officers search for the business owner, Parrott said.
