Two more Venezuelan migrants staying in Chicago were arrested Friday after allegedly stealing hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise from a suburban Macy’s that has been an ongoing target of retail theft by migrants ...
Edys Alberto Herrera-Gotopo, 20, and Johan Gavidia-Rojas, 18, entered the store together in Oak Brook, Illinois, shortly after 7 p.m. and were each carrying empty bags
...
The two men worked together, with one grabbing items of clothing and stuffing them into a bag while the other acted as a lookout before the duo switched roles...
When the suspects left the store without paying...

Both men, who are from Venezuela and currently residing in Chicago, were charged with one count of retail theft, a felony. The men were released after a judge denied the state’s motion to detain them pre-trial on the condition that both are prohibited from entering the Macy’s in Oak Brook.
The Oak Brook Macy’s has been an ongoing target of retail theft, with authorities warning locals and retailers to remain vigilant during the busy holiday shopping season.
Last month, Oak Brook Deputy Chief of Police Reid Foltyniewicz warned citizens of an uptick in migrant criminal activity from Chicago after a series of retail thefts involving Venezuelan migrants.
At least nine Venezuelan migrants have now been arrested in separate retail theft incidents at the Oak Brook Macy’s and a Kohl’s store in nearby Elmhurst in recent weeks.

The city is continuing to struggle to find ways to house them this winter as local residents voice concern over the potential cost and risks to neighborhood safety.

Just shoplifting the merchandise Americans are too lazy to shoplift.
Enjoy the suck, Chicago!
“They’re not sending their best ...”
This is what makes Biden’s immigration policies so wonderful. Maybe you want to visit Venezuela. But you’ve heard that it’s a dangerous place.
No worries. If you don’t want to go to Venezuela, Venezuela will come to you.
WOW. That is HUGE news: They actually arrested shoplifters in Chicago! /not entirely sarc
Catch and release.
I visited China. You can bet your bottom dollar they would not tolerate this.
You can even get a ticket for spitting on the sidewalk.
Most likely...
It was reported a while back that several South/Central American countries emptied their jails sending the prisoners to the US as migrants. - Biden invited them to do so (maybe).
To my friends here:
Close to Christmas now. Please....
Ask the nearby Dems to talk about illegals looting stores
and their views of Hamas “decolonizers” attacking women and children in Israel and Gaza.
And no bail release of criminals who prey on people again and again.
Those Dems are responsible and are continuing to be enablers.
Oh, forgot. Anyone who likes Trump or is a conservative at all has to be silent with their hands folded or they will not be tolerated by the leftists.
It was not Chicago, it was Oak Brook, a very wealthy suburb that is in the next county west (DuPage). DuPage will actually arrest and put their criminals on trial, but thanks to Governor Fatass’s Safety (for criminals) Act, the judges have no way to hold these illegal alien turds in jail until trial. Illinois has essentially outlawed bail.
“ They actually arrested shoplifters in Chicago.”
Oak Brook is 30 miles or so west of Chicago and is in DuPage County.

Welcome to America where everything is free ( for some people) and the taxpayers cheerfully go off to work to pay the taxes that make everything “free”.
While not on topic, I drove through Homestead, Florida today.
At SW 260th street and Krome Avenue, I saw a Argentinian national flag waving in the breeze. Underneath that flag was Old Glory! SMH...
After all, you voted for it!
“Or their brightest”.
They know they are home Scot-free no matter what, as they know they won’t be prosecuted and they know they sure as hell won’t get deported.
Because of the Democrats, the US has ceased to have any borders, or any sense of being a sovereign nation.
Venezuelan criminal invaders...
migrants? Foreign invaders. They don’t even have to have Trojans horses.
Do you think skin color influenced who they arrested?
