Man Charged In Series Of Burglaries; Police Say He Might Be Linked To More

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A man has been charged with a string of burglaries on the South Side last month, and police said a distinct tattoo on his arm might link him to more crimes.

Kwincy Johnson, 28, has been charged with eight combined felony counts of burglary and attempted burglary.

Police said he is responsible for several burglaries and attempted burglaries in the Morgan Park District in August.

Investigators believe he could be responsible for more burglaries and say a large tattoo of the word "Loyalty" on his left arm could help link him to any other crimes. He also has a tattoo of numbers on the back of his left hand.

Anyone with information about any other burglaries he might be responsible for should contact Area South detectives at 312-747-8276.

Johnson is being held on $75,000 bond and is due back in court on Monday.
