BUCKTOWN — Chicago Police issued a statement Monday regarding a YouTube video that was posted by a Bucktown resident who said their home was burglarized last month.
The incident took place in the 1600 block of North Bell Avenue, police said.
"Detectives are actively investigating the incident and they do have the video," police said in a statement Monday night. "The First Deputy Superintendent has also asked the Chief of Detectives and Chief of Patrol to look into whether this incident was dispatched properly and investigated in accordance with CPD standards and protocols."
The victim of the burglary, Miguel Martinez, told ABC7 that a man took several items from his home.
"We had MacBooks, we had video game systems, video games, we had intellectual property that was on these products," Martinez told ABC7.
Steve Jensen, president of The Bucktown Community Organization, blasted police for an alleged lack of action to stop burglaries in the neighborhood.
"Community residents and members over the past six to eight years have seen a dwindling of police resources," Jensen told DNAinfo. "Those officers that we do work with continue to be frustrated by the lack of support they get from police top brass. We need a surge of additional police officers to our community in order to be a deterrent against current and future crimes."
No one is in custody for the burglary, said Officer Michelle Tannehill, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.
