According to the Lakewood Balmoral Residents Council (LBRC) block club and the Chicago News Report, there were multiple fires started early Tuesday morning in garbage cans in Andersonville. The fires occured on the 5200 block of North Wayne around 3:30AM, and appeared to be arson. Apparently the offenders were two young males wearing white t-shirts who were seen fleeing west on Farragut. Someone later reported seeing them on top of a garage on the 5200 block of North Magnolia, but when police responded they were gone but a pile of burning leaves were found on top of the garage.

..arnt these locations actually in Edgewater?...
5200/5300 N Wayne is in the Andersonville/Lakewood Balmoral areas - both of which are a part of Edgewater. Just like "Wrigleyville" is a part of Lakeview, these areas are neighborhoods within the Edgewater neighborhood. Confusing, I know....
Please remind individuals to call 911 whenever there is any suspicious activity happening. During the CAPS meeting each month they are reviewing the stats and checking on how areas are trending for crime.
