Maywood man, 'ringleader' of smash-and-grab crew charged with recent burglaries

He was arrested with just $5 in his pocket, but police say Tacarre Harper headed a crew that made off with $175,000 in merchandise in at least nine smash-and-grab burglaries in recent months, even tossing cash registers on Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Gold Coast street between heists.
