April 26--Burglars tried to break into the Burberry store on North Michigan Avenue early Sunday morning but fled before managing to grab any of the high-end plaid merchandise.
About 2:50 a.m. Sunday, the would-be thieves forced their way into one of the building's doors in the alley off the 600 block of North Michigan Avenue, police said.
When they pried open the door, a burglar alarm was triggered, prompting the burglars to flee. The door led to a stairwell inside the building, and the burglars never made it into the actual store, police said.
Early Sunday, four people were being questioned by police in connection with the break-in, but no criminal charges had been filed by about 8 a.m.
