Officers stopped Younger about a block away because he matched the description provided by a security company who was monitoring the store at 5410 W. Chicago Ave., police said.



Younger stole the Bobcat loader from a nearby construction site at 5327 W. Chicago Avenue – the site of the former 15th District police station – and broke the windows at the Family Dollar store a block away, according to police.



Police said an alarm company watched the theft unfold from security cameras inside the store and called Chicago police. Responding officers saw a man in the area matching the description and stopped to talk with him.



One of the officers noticed a bulge in Younger's pocket and found gift cards after patting him down, police said.
