An officer responded to a theft in progress at Shoe Carnival in Cermak Plaza. The officer observed 53-year-old Chicago resident Raymond Garvin running out of the store. Garvin then apparently thought better of it and ran back inside after seeing police and Canine Officer Niko. A pat down of Garvin revealed boots with the sensor torn off. Garvin volunteered the information that he stole boots to pay for heroin, and sure enough, when he was booked at the station, officers recovered a baggie of heroin from him.
