Oak Park, IL – A burglary suspect may have been building up the nerve before stealing Amazon apartment packages from the same Oak Park building in two separate incidents this week, according to police.
According to a report from the Oak Park Police Department, a male suspect riding a dark-colored bicycle first entered an apartment building in the 400 block of South Oak Park around 10 p.m. Friday. Once inside, he reportedly accessed the laundry area, removed a trash bag, and used it to conceal a black bicycle and delivered Amazon packages — but left the packages behind and exited the building.
Four days later, on Wednesday, police say the same individual returned. This time, the suspect allegedly damaged the building’s door lock and entered again, ultimately removing multiple Amazon packages that had been delivered to residents.
The suspect is described only as a male Black individual. No arrests have been made, and the estimated loss remains unknown.
Oak Park police continue to investigate the case and are encouraging residents to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
