A group of at least four suspects are seen going car to car smashing windows.

At one point, standing on a car.

Residents told ABC7 this is not the first time this has happened in this parking lot.

"I'm scared I don't know what to do now, where am I going to park? I thought this was covered with protection," a neighbor said.

Chicago police had already issued a crime alert after there were at least three vehicle break-ins in the 300-block of East 38th Street on January 11.

ABC7 Photographer Paul Laschinski lent a hand to tape up a woman's window, as it was raining.

Chicago police said nobody is in custody.
