Patch Batavia, IL --
Oswego Police are investigating several recent overnight burglaries to Oswego businesses, similar in pattern to a slew of recent nighttime break-ins by the so-called Smash-and-Grab Burglar.
Two businesses at West Van Buren and Adams Street in downtown Oswego were broken into, as well as a business in the 300 block of Fifth Street off of Route 34.
"They are all hair-type salon businesses," said Oswego police captain Jeff Burgner.
The overnight break-ins were all reported at about 7:30 a.m. on March 16. Burgner said an undetermined amount of cash was stolen from each business, but no products or supplies.
"We do believe there is a common link," said Burgner, as only salon-type businesses have been targeted.
Burgner said the Oswego Police are working with the Aurora Police Department, who have had a string of overnight "smash and grab" burglaries since March 8.
The two may have a connection, said Burgner, as some of the businesses hit in Aurora have also been hair salons.
The Geneva Citgo station was hit on Friday, March 15. Before that were a string of similar burglaries in the Aurora area.
