Sixty-five pieces of jewelry, estimated to be worth $20,000, were stolen from a resident’s home, Evanston police said.

A 50-year-old woman reported the incident from her home in the 900 block of Michigan Avenue on Sept. 24 at 4:47 p.m., although the theft could have occurred anytime between 7:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew said.

The suspect is not known, but appeared to pry open the back door of the home.

Food stolen from Whole Foods

A 22-year-old Evanston man received a city ordinance violation ticket for retail theft after taking $29.37 worth of food from the Whole Foods at 1640 Chicago Ave., police said.

The suspect concealed an orange sparkling water, lime water, noodles, salt and black pepper in a shafted bag and walked past the point of purchase without paying for the merchandise, Glew said.
