The Evanston Police Department responded to a report of two iPhones stolen from a desk drawer at Evanston Hospital on Sunday night or early Monday morning.

EPD officers came into contact with a 26-year-old-male Chicago resident and located one of the missing iPhones, which belonged to the Northshore Medical Group.

Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew said the man was a former employee of Evanston Hospital.

The case status is pending review of the hospital’s video footage, Glew said, because it is unclear whether the man found with the recovered phone was the one who committed the burglary.

“(The man) could be charged with possession of stolen property but we’re probably going to hold off on that,” he said.

Orange graffiti found on bus stop

Officers responded to a report of graffiti painted on a Chicago Transit Authority bus stop on the northeast corner of Ridge Avenue and Howard Street on Monday.

The orange graffiti did not contain any English words and had no discernable meaning.

Glew said a citizen caller reported the graffiti.
