Two Wicker Park stores were hit by smash-and-grab style burglars early Tuesday morning.

The burglars reportedly drove three cars into the glass storefronts of two neighboring upscale clothing stores in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue around 2:30 a.m. The stores were identified as Saint Alfred, which primarily sells menswear, and Chrome, which sells messenger bags and other apparel. The burglars took an unknown amount of merchandise, according to police.

The burglars fled the scene of the break-ins, and Area North detectives are investigating the crime. No one is in custody.
