A burglar was taken into custody after he attempted to run after breaking into a Lincoln Park business with two others who got away, Chicago police said.
Shortly after 3:30 a.m. Friday, three people removed the front door of a business in the 2600 block of North Halsted Street, but responding officers arrived on the scene before they were able to go inside, police said.
Before the officers exited their vehicle, a gray Infiniti sedan crashed into the squad car, and fled south on Halsted. Two burglars fled in a second vehicle, possibly a Jeep, going north on Halsted. One of the burglars tried to escape on foot, but was caught and arrested at the scene.
Charges were pending and detectives were investigating.
