Cops find $500K in stolen goods at Southwest Side warehouse

A half-million dollars worth of chocolate, liquor, auto parts and concrete garden fountains don’t just fall off a truck.

But this morning about 9:45 a.m., Chicago police and other investigators served a warrant at a Brighton Park neighborhood warehouse in the 2600 block of West 35th Street where about $500,000 in such stolen merchandise—and several stolen trucks and a stolen van—were hidden, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.

Police are still searching for those responsible for the thefts, but have been able to determine the goods found at the warehouse were stolen.
