April 28, 2008, 1:36 PM
Berwyn Park District workers reported the theft of a flowering bush from the park. One worker told police he saw a woman leaving Proksa Park, 3001 Wisconsin, with a purple flowering shrub in her hand, which the worker recognized as belonging to the park. The woman was seen entering a red Jeep; workers noted the license number. The plates registered to a Cicero address. Park workers traveled to Cicero, and Berwyn police soon received a call from them stating they were watching the woman as she planted the bush in her yard. Berwyn and Cicero police made contact with the woman, who admitted removing the bush from Proksa Park. She removed it from her yard and returned it to one of the park employees. The Park director signed a complaint of theft against Juana Pena-Kizaur, 58, of Cicero.
