Girl bandits Jean Buttick, 15, and Anna Varich, 16, were caught red-handed looting the bungalow of Louis Oehler at 6152 S. California Avenue on March 20, 1927. The Chicago Tribune reported “In the kitchen, as they seized her [Anna] she spilled rings, bracelets, beaded bags, and what not from every part of her clothes. When they shook her she literally dripped booty”. Police officers believe the two bandits had looted about a dozen other homes within the last two weeks. With Buttick and Varich are Charles Goss, Bert Harlem and Sgt. William H. Doyle (in chair) on March 20, 1927. (Photo by Chicago Tribune Historical Photo)
