The third burglary happened between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Friday at the Morgan Park Sports Center at 11505 S. Western Ave., a community recreation center that includes an ice rink and other facilities.
Police said the burglars were wearing black hooded sweat shirts, black and blue pants, and a black mask.
