Zagreb´s Chicago street lives its namesake

The number of crimes in Zagreb’s Chicago street has made it comparable to its namesake, the American city that was once home to legendary mafia boss Al Capone.
The last and the most gruesome of incidents that took place in this notorious street is the murder of two men at hands of their schizophrenic brother/son over the Easter weekend this year.
Resident Vinka says that her neighbourhood is no different to any other, but that this last crime has made it harder for her to sleep at night.

But the statistics show that the street located in Zagreb’s Borovje neighbourhood has had a fair share of out-of-ordinary crimes. Incidents such as a fire set in the elevator that almost suffocated a 14-year-old asthma sufferer, a mass brawl that included an eight-month pregnant woman who broke another's nose, and a serial wheelchair thief are just some of the more unusual offences that have taken place there.
In the last four years, the street was also the location for 16 car thefts, 10 apartment break-ins, three store robberies and theft of 116 meters of copper telephone wire, the daily Jutarnji List writes.
