A man has been charged with breaking into a hookah shop early Friday morning in north suburban Skokie.
Police responded to a burglar alarm from Sahara Hookah at 4726 Oakton St. just after 3 a.m., according to Skokie police. Officers saw a broken front glass door and spotted 37-year-old Sargon Markos inside, police said.
He ran out the back door, but officers tracked him down soon after, police said.
Detectives determined Markos had also broken into a nail salon two doors down, police said.
Markos was charged with two felony counts of burglary and jailed on a $25,000 bond, police said. He is scheduled to appear in court again Wednesday.
