In Chicago, surveillance footage caught suspects breaking into a local business, marking another incident in a recent crime spree.

Authorities have charged two teenagers in connection with this break-in, along with several others citywide.

The suspects, whose identities remain undisclosed due to their status as minors, are believed to have targeted multiple sites last Friday. Within roughly two hours, they reportedly burglarized at least four different locations.

Police describe the duo as part of a group focusing on businesses from Logan Square to Lincoln Park, with a particular interest in stealing ATMs. One of the incidents was captured by a security camera.

Close to 3:30 a.m., the footage reveals individuals shattering a window, then entering the premises with masks on and heading directly for the ATM.

After several failed lifts, they got the machine through the window with the help of a third person before getting away.

It happened early Friday morning at The Double Urban Tavern on West Fullerton Avenue in Logan Square.

Police say their getaway vehicle was seen an hour later at a Lincoln Park business, where four suspects also broke in and stole an ATM.

And an hour after that break-in, investigators say the suspects committed another burglary at a Little Village business before getting away with an ATM and a cash register.

After tracking them down, police say they were able to arrest a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, who they say, participated in the crimes. They were both charged with three counts of burglary and one misdemeanor count of Criminal Trespass to a Vehicle.

A search warrant at a home then led detectives to find the damaged, stolen ATMs, as well as money, a cash register and seven guns. Three of the guns were fully-automatic. Burglary tools and vehicle reprogramming devices were also recovered at the home.

Police say 18-year-old Avion Moore, who lives at the home where the weapons were recovered, was also arrested and faces multiple felony weapons charges.

An investigation into more suspects involved in the burglary crew is ongoing.
