Rockford Police

While most people were up early getting ready to pick up coffee and donuts before Sunday service, there was one individual in the city rummaging through the oldest bar in Rockford looking for smokes and hard liquor.

An Illinois man didn't count on local police having their annual Christmas shopping event in the store where he was shoplifting on Saturday.

It's a reality we all have to live with every single day. Police warn residents to be diligent in protecting this item that's much more than nailed down.
