Males Harassing People At Citgo @ Diversey/Kostner, Assault @ Mozart School

Good morning, everyone, it's 12am. I'm monitoring 25 today from now until the first call after midnight, from 8am to 4:50pm and from 10pm to midnight. I'll also be covering 14 today from 4:50pm to 10pm. Tomorrow, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide what I should monitor. I ask that any requests please be made by 5am tomorrow morning either here, on the Facebook page, or at the crime blog e-mail address, which is avondalelscrimeblotter@gmail.com. Also, I have a poll on the right of this page that I need as many of you as possible to participate in. As promised in March, I'm doing another readership analysis, as I want to see what areas need more monitoring. This poll closes on July 2nd, so be sure to participate before then. Thank you, and with that, here's crime for today.
