CHICAGO — A Gold Coast business was looted in a smash-and-grab burglary early Friday, police said.

Police arrived in the 900 block of North Rush Street around 2:50 a.m. Friday and saw the front display window of the store shattered. Numerous items also were missing from the store, said Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.

Friday morning, a worker picked gold letters from a pile of glass that lay in front of the shattered window as he swept up outside the Saint Laurent Paris shop, 11 E. Walton St. Immediately inside the smashed storefront lay empty shelves, and in the background a worker restored order to the rest of the store.

The cash values of the items taken has not been determined, Sedevic said.

Officers likely use security footage from the area to determine who might have been involved in the burglary, police said.
