4 suspects linked to burglaries at Chicago businesses, police say; ATMs targeted or taken
Chicago police are looking for a group of four suspects they say are linked to multiple business burglaries on in the city that have targeted or taken ATMs. Police said in at least three incidents, the group have broken into stores by breaking the front glass window or door, then rummaged through the businesses to take property from inside. In one burglary, they stole a mobile ATM and a cash register, police said. In the second incident, they stole bottles of liquor and tried to take the mobile ATM but weren't able to. In each case, the suspects fled the scene in a 2018 white Kia SUV Sorrento that had been reported as stolen. The burglaries linked to these suspects happened on: Chicago police said in a fourth burglary in Evergreen Park involved suspects that matched the description of these suspects and their vehicle, but they have not formally connected it to the previous three incidents. Police had only a vague description of the burglars, saying they appear to be between 16 and 20 years old and wore black hooded sweatshirts, dark jeans and black ski masks. No one is in custody and Area Three detectives are investigating. If you have further information, contact Area Three detectives at 312-744-8263.

Boy trapped under car saved when witnesses gather to lift it, Florida cops say
A boy seen being 'dragged' under a slow-moving car was rescued when witnesses teamed up to lift the vehicle, according to investigators in Florida. The boy was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover, the Volusia Sheriff's Office said in a news release. It happened around 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11, on the first day of school in Deltona. 'The 14-year-old had been riding his bike to a private school, traveling east along Howland Boulevard on the sidewalk, when he approached Roble Lane,' the sheriff's office said. 'As the victim crossed Roble Lane in the crosswalk, the driver of a Kia Soul entered the crosswalk at a low speed attempting to turn onto Howland Boulevard. The vehicle struck the victim, dragged him about 15 feet, and stopped with the victim trapped under the vehicle.' Witnesses, including a tow truck driver, rushed to the car and worked together to 'lift the vehicle and move the victim to safety.' Investigators did not reveal how many people were needed to lift the Kia, which weighed nearly 3,000 pounds. 'The victim was wearing a helmet. Although injured, he was still conscious on scene,' officials said. 'Air One transported him as a trauma alert to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, where at last check he was in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.' The boy was riding an electric bike, or e-bike, which 'can travel faster than traditional bicycles,' the sheriff's office said. Investigators did not report details of charges in the case, and the driver's identity was not released. Deltona is about a 30-mile drive northeast from Orlando.
