Phony Health Inspector Robbing Businesses

By Margaret Lyons in News on Sep 29, 2004 5:34PM

A tall, blond man posing as a health inspector has been robbing small businesses on the North Side. He flashes a health inspector badge, walks through the store, and then steals shit. This shtick has worked on 1400 block of West Fullerton Avenue, the 4800 block of North Western Avenue, the 2900 block of North Broadway Street and the 5600 block of North Ridge Avenue. He told an employee at one store that he had a gun and demanded cash from the safe. We're no health inspection experts, but we can only assume that set off some bogus radar.

If you have any information on this scumbag, give the popo at the Belmont Area Robbery/Burglary/Theft Unit a jingle at (312) 744-8263.
