A Grayslake resident told police that on June 1 he had his debit card stolen — and that he has already lost more than $1,200 from his bank account.

The victim was standing outside in the 100 block of North State Street when a stranger started a conversation with him. The victim then agreed to get into the stranger’s car so as to get a ride to Union Station.

Once in the car, the man asked the victim if he smoked marijuana — and the victim said he did not. The man then requested to see the victim’s ID so as to “verify” he wasn’t the police. The victim complied and — in hindsight — realized that was the point where the offender swiped the debit card from his wallet.

The victim realized his debit card was missing shortly after being dropped off at Union Station. The victim then called his bank to discover that two ATM withdrawals had already been made for a total withdrawal of more than $900. Also, three debit card purchases had already been made at Jewel-Osco totaling more than $300.

A victim stranded in the South Loop at 1:30 in the morning on June 5 had his wallet and $350 stolen from two unknown offenders. The victim told police that he got into an altercation with his friend and was then dropped off at the corner of Clinton and Grenshaw streets. He started walking and realized that two men were following him. One of the men grabbed the victim from behind and said, “You know what this is.” The two men then took the victim’s wallet, social security card, brown suitcase with clothes in it, and the aforementioned money. The offenders then ran away northbound.

Terrance Stokes, 42, is suspected of stealing Blackberrys from two separate victims on park property along the 200 block of South Lake Shore Drive on May 31.

A woman told police that she had left her purse unattended while playing sports when a man allegedly removed her Blackberry Curve, valued at $300, from her bag. The offender then fled westbound down Jackson Street. The woman also told police that the offender stole another person’s Blackberry — but that the victim of this Blackberry theft had already left the park.

Police toured the area and discovered Stokes, who matched the description of the offender. A search of Stokes revealed the Blackberry Curve along with a Blackberry Torch, also valued at $300, as well as an iPod that apparently belonged to the Blackberry Torch owner.

A man exiting a transferring between the Blue and Red line el stations at Jackson, 300 South State St., had his leather wallet, photo ID, and debit cards stolen. The victim told police that on June 3 he was walking from the Blue Line platform to the CTA Red Line platform at Jackson and State Streets when an offender grabbed his wallet from his rear pocket, laughed at the victim and fled down the stairs.

Kristina Golden, 25, of Afton, Minn. and Ian Fecke-Stout, 27, of Phoenix, allegedly criminally damaged city property when they pried letters out of a sidewalk marker.

On June 5, a patrol officer observed the two suspects crouched on the southwest corner of Lake and Dearborn streets, removing letters from a sidewalk marker labeled, “Chicago Theater District.” The officer placed the two in custody.

In a separate incident, a patrol officer arrested a juvenile for criminally damaging property along the 700 block of South Michigan Avenue. The juvenile allegedly wrote his graffiti tag name “Jackie” on street poles. The suspect said that he had written his tag name throughout the city.

A police officer busted a prostitution operation June 6 at the Hyatt Regency, 151 E. Wacker Drive.

The undercover officer contacted the alleged prostitute — Wendy Besserud, 30, of Fargo, North Dakota — via an advertisement on Backpage.com under escorts. Besserud directed the officer to the Hyatt and let him into her hotel room. Besserud and the officer then conversed, and Besserud agreed to have sex with the officer twice for $300. The officer then handed $300 and Besserud took the money, counted it, and then placed it on the table.

After Besserud produced a condom, the officer then signaled to his backup officer and Besserud was placed under arrest.
