Police responded to a what was initially described as a burglary in progress on the 3200 block of North Kenmore Avenue, near Kenmore and School, around 10:13 p.m.
The 911 caller, who was locked inside a bathroom, said gunmen were breaking into the North Side home, said police dispatch.
Although Chicago News Report wasn’t able to get a good description of the intruders, police communications indicated the men were wearing “black beanies”.
When police arrived at the scene, there was a 1995 Chevy van idling in front of the home and the front and back doors of the property were reportedly “kicked in”.
Police arrested several alleged offenders inside the home.
One suspect was apprehended in a nearby alley, said authorities.
An ambulance was called to the scene after one of the alleged burglars, who was tasered by police, claimed he couldn’t breathe.
At approximately 10:36 p.m., an officer at the scene requested police dogs to assist in the search for possible narcotics.
Authorities discovered a safe in one of the home's bedrooms.
One source indicated weapons, cash, and drugs were ultimately found at the scene.
UPDATE: Left to right: Jason Street, Darius Franklin, Juan Terrazas, and Nick Patel were arrested after an alleged drug-related home invasion in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood on Sunday, said police.
Patel lives in the home where the incident occurred.

I was leaving my girlfriend's house (who lives right over here) when I saw the police cars swoop into the area! The police responded quickly to the scene and really did their jobs. Props to the CPD!
ReplyDeleteThe CPD run this mutha! Hell, yeah!
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt it was a drug deal gone bad. Drug dealers don't call 911. Why wasn't this on the news, there were cops everywhere while I was walking home at 10:15pm. No report on main newspapers or tv! Typical.
ReplyDeleteI live near Kenmore & School and it was pretty intense. Never seen that many cop cars on a neighborhood street before. Looked like the Chicago PD did a great job though.
ReplyDeleteI read it here 10 hours BEFORE I read it on Chicago Breaking News... Kudos to you again!
ReplyDeleteThank you, anonymous. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of Chicago News making up stories! "Drug deal Gone Bad"???? Really? There could have been numerous reasons for an altercation. The fact that drugs were supposedly found (according to CNR) does not mean there was a drug deal in progress. I have yet to hear of a drug dealer calling 911 when trouble arises. Haha The police use a frequency that no one has access to for sensitive calls and/or communications. Anyone can listen to the district scanner and fill in the blanks using their imagination.
ReplyDeleteKudos to CPD for the fast response.
Anonymous, don't take our word for it, the Chicago Tribune reported the same story -- hours later.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, there were several people inside the house when the so-called drug-related home invasion went down.
One of them probably got scared and called the cops.
Drug dealer or not, if you think your life is in danger, you are going to call for help.
While managing this blog, we have heard several 911 calls, mostly from the South and West Sides of Chicago, from self-described drug dealers claiming they were robbed.
Case in point: A South Side, South Shore man was "robbed" on Christmas day.
He reportedly admitted that he is a drug dealer, but he allegedly told 911 that the money the thieves stole from him was a Christmas present from his MOTHER.
FYI, we don't use our imagination to "fill in the blanks", we simply report what is reported.
We need a "Like" button.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, there is "Like" button in the top, right-hand corner of the page. Sorry it's not more conveniently located. :-(
ReplyDeleteHa! Nick Patel. 20-year-old would-be pot kingpin gets busted 'cuz someone in his house called the cops when da gangbangers came after his sh!t.
ReplyDeleteDrug dealin' ain't quite like it appears on "Weeds," Nick. Happy Hoosegowing!!
This general vicinity has to be the North sides drug alley. There was some guy constantly hitting me up that lived around there, considerably younger. He could never make plans beyond an hour. Said he worked 3 jobs. Made plans to meet up somewhere but will let me know "if something comes up". I asked if he was a drug dealer (not being sarcastic).
ReplyDeleteIf you can't keep an appointment an hour away you're either delivering pizzas or drugs. If you're delivering pizzas, I think you'd be stationed at the restaurant for a set time. Told him to get lost. He thought I was mad at him. No, get lost. Drug runner.
Two reported similar incidences by CNR there and that personal experience. Sounds like a problem, the cops know of it and are obviously prepped. Thanks CPD.
The new Globalism. Urban Black American, Latin American and South Asian. Mr Patel would have been better off running a Comfort Suites like the other Patels here.
ReplyDeleteTwo blacks, a Mexican, and an Indian?
ReplyDeleteIt's like the United Colors of Bennetton Drug Squad!
Can we get an update on this
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess, the blacks and the Mexican are friends of someone who previously smoked or bought weed from the Indian. They knew he had marijuana so they planned on robbing the Indian.
ReplyDeleteSO WHAT REALLY HAPPEN WAS THE RICH KID NICK PATEL WAS TRYING TO PLAY THE ROLE OF KUMAR IN THE HAROLD AND KUMAR MOVIES TRYING TO BE MR. BIG MAN FOR HIS FRIENDS WHEN HE IS ALREADY RICH HINT LAKEVIEW SO THATS WHEN HE SOLD OR SMOKED WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE AND SHOWED THEM HIS FAME A FAMILY RICHES PLUS HE HAD KUSH SO THE HOOD GUYS TRIED AT A LATER DATE TO RUN IN HIS HOUSE TO TAKE THE LIL BITCHES COOKIES AND THEY GOT CAUGHT BECAUSE THERE BRAINS ARE THE SIZE OF MY BALLS SACK THEEEE END
ReplyDeleteto yesterday at 2:03 - is that a sentence?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, though, when I see posts like that - no punctuation, all caps, terrible grammar, poor spelling (though at least this one isn't in phoenetic ebonics), it just reminds me of all the fat nigger women riding on CTA busses, shouting into their phones.
Try reading that post out loud, without taking a breath, and you'll agree, it's just like those fat bitches on the bus.
yeah no need for the racism just because mr patel "would be better off running a comfort sweet like the other patels here," you make me sick. you probably are just jealous because your daddy was an alcoholic and your mother wished she had an abortion. would have made the world a better place to have one fewer racist asshole, tell her there is still time to end your meaningless existence, however.
ReplyDeleteHaha the Indian guy is so funny! I love the diversity! Drugs don't discriminate ever! If there us anything that can bring us all together, it's drugs. Hhaha! Love it! The Indian guy is the black sheep of the family....his sisters are all doctors.
