Customers 'harassed' by 'drug dealers' at Edgewater business

Police were called to a North Side Chicago business after customers were reportedly harassed by men engaged in alleged illegal activities.

The incident occurred around 6 p.m. at 1100 West Thorndale Avenue, near Thorndale and Winthrop in the Edgewater neighborhood.

The address belongs to a business called T’s Piasan’s Pizza and Grill.

According to several 911 callers, a group of men, whose ages and races were not disclosed, were harassing citizens and selling drugs in front of the North Side business.

As of 6:25 p.m., it’s unclear if any arrests were made, or if police made contact with the suspects.

    Oh, thought this could been the Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts on Bryn Mawr. Whew!

    There is usually a beat cop around and the police patrol this area quite often. This has been going on for a while and is probably part of the "Thorndale Boys" group. Just guess. "T's" has been there for about 3 years, maybe longer, has great food and the owner is a really nice guy. The police are very aware of this harassment from these dealers and I'm not sure why they ALL just don't get busted. The neighbors complain about this all the time. What does it take to stop this when it's a well known fact it's happening?

    It makes you wonder. I see these clowns every day. I wonder what they did to finally get the police around there. Must have tried to sell to the wrong person. I was kind of hopeful last year when the No Loitering signs showed up in all the windows on that strip. Too bad it took someone firing shots to get the cops to run those punks off for any length of time. I get sick of seeing them.
