North Center Crime Blotter

Good morning, everyone, it's 8am. Today, I'm monitoring the North Center community on Chicago's North Side, for those of you who read this blog and live there. I wonder how many calls I'll get today. I don't think a lot at all, because not only is it cold, but also because North Center is a safe neighborhood. Tomorrow, I will resume my monitoring of 25. So, back to the topic at hand here, the next neighborhood I will be monitoring is the Near South Side, and I will do that in two weekends from now. I'm delaying it because I'll be monitoring 14 next weekend. Here's crime in North Center for today.
