Police say 14 people stole from a business about 2:35 a.m. Aug. 10, 2020, in the 0-100 block of North Wells Street.

CHICAGO - Chicago police released surveillance video Tuesday of over a dozen people wanted for stealing from a Loop business during looting in August.

The photos show 14 people stealing from a business in the first block of North Wells St. about 2:35 a.m. Aug. 10, Chicago police said in a statement.

They are among hundreds of people suspected of looting downtown shops that morning throughout Chicago, less than a day after rumors spread following a police shooting in Englewood.

Weeks before — in late May — looting broke out in downtown and other parts of the city during protests against George Floyd’s killing at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.

Over the last several weeks, police have shared dozens of photos and videos of suspected looters.
