A Chinese national living in the U.S. illegally was indicted on burglary charges Tuesday in Chicago, as prosecutors alleged that the “one man crime wave” had stolen more than $1 million of goods from homes in the wealthy Lincoln Park neighborhood, according to a report from NewsCore.
According to the prosecution, Jicheng “Kevin” Liu is suspected of committing hundreds of burglaries and thefts from homes.

His $100,000 bond was increased to $500,000 bail Tuesday after 12 new burglary charges were added to his charge sheet, the article says.
