A recent knife fight captured on video in Streeterville has raised safety concerns among residents.
Ald. Brian Hopkins, 2nd Ward, said crime in Streeterville hasn't slowed down, specifically in the areas of Ohio and Saint Clair."We're seeing an increase in drug dealing, prostitution, loitering. The associated nuisance activity that goes along with loitering. There's a lot of litter and graffiti that happens, and occasionally a fight, like the knife fight that we just witnessed in Streeterville ," said Hopkins. The knife fight happened on Sunday.
Just days ago, the 1st District Commander David Harris held a meeting with residents about crime in downtown Chicago, stating that although overall crime is down five percent, burglaries are up 31 percent. Residents of Streeterville apartments and condominiums have been advised not to hold doors open for others, as criminals are sneaking in and targeting residents, stealing valuables from their homes.
