Crooks Break Into Elmhurst Currency Exchange, Cut Hole in Safe

The prowlers struck overnight Monday but the police say they still don't know if anything was taken.

Burglars broke into an Elmhurst Currency Exchange and cut a hole in the safe.

A customer waiting for the Currency Exchange at 683 W. North Ave. to open Tuesday morning discovered crooks had taken the liberty of letting themselves in.

"The business was found to have been burglarized and entered by punching the front door locks," police said. "The safe was found lying upside down with a large hole in it, the security cameras were damaged, electronic items were thrown about."

A police report released Wednesday said it was "Unknown if anything was taken at this time."
