Vandals smash windows, tag, smoke bomb North Side Chase Bank, AT&T facility – Chicago, IL

Vandalized Chase Bank features graffiti reading, "SMASH CAPITALISM AND COPS"

Around the sides of a Chase Bank branch and a block-long AT&T facility next door are strings of graffiti protesting everything from cops to capitalism to Hollywood.

Chicago police first responded to a call of an explosion at the bank, 5134 North Clark, around 10:40 p.m. Saturday. The "explosion" turned out to be a smoke bomb that a group of vandals tossed through one of the bank's many broken windows.

Witnesses reported between 15 and 30 people…breaking the windows and painting the buildings. The group was last seen running east from Clark Street. No arrests were made.

It also stated that the group entered both businesses and "defaced the doors and walls with the use of spray paint."
