Four smoke shops in Chicago were burglarized in an overnight spree from Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, with the perpetrators escaping with more than $2,000 and thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
The alarm sounded early Wednesday morning as two unmasked burglars bust their way into Urban City Smoke Shop in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood. The owner, Richard Karamian, got the call soon afterwards.
“I’m just off the highway. I’m an easy target pretty much,” Karamian told NBC Chicago. “I’m kind of depressed man cause it’s always happening you know? His smoke shop is where the duo ended their burglary spree, beginning hours earlier at Cali Smoke Shop on Roosevelt Road. In that instance, the suspects bashed through the glass door and destroyed the metal gate before getting inside and stealing product and cash.

That was the main point for me, and we’ll take the rest from here,” owner Sam Atya said."I am familiar with the area that I’m in but I didn’t really expect for anything to happen of this magnitude. There is a lot of traffic in which some unsavory characters might pass. Never thought it would come to this," the owner said.
