CHICAGO - Vandals looted five Binny's Beverage Depot locations in Chicago overnight Saturday into Sunday, at the same time the city was under a new curfew.
No one was hurt, but beer, wine and spirits were smashed and stolen. Displays were wrecked and windows were broken.
The five locations that were targeted were:
- Downtown, 213 W. Grand Ave.
- Hyde Park, 1240 East 47th
- Lakeview, 3000 N. Clark
- Lincoln Park, 1720 Marcey Street
- South Loop, 1132 Jefferson Street
Binny's said the first break-in happened at the South Loop location at 9 p.m. Saturday, just as the city's curfew started. The looting continued until 6 a.m. Sunday morning, Binny's said.
Tia Ewing talks about looting and racism
Fox 32 News anchor and reporter Tia Ewing was covering the looting on Sunday. She says that looting does not solve anything,and that anyone who was a racist before is not going to stop being racist when they see an African American male running out of a store with items.
Binny's Beverage Depot is locally owned, with seven locations in Chicago and 42 total in Illinois.
