Frankfort Police Nab Two in String of Burglaries

FRANKFORT, IL — Frankfort police on Friday arrested two suspects believed responsible for a string of crimes in the Southland.

Kennady Roberson, 19, of Richton Park, and Courtney Thompson, 27, of Matteson, are allegedly responsible for several residential burglaries, motor vehicle burglaries, and identity thefts in the south suburbs—including four cases in the Prestwick, Heritage Knolls, Stone Creek, and Timbers Edge subdivisions, police said Monday.

"In each of these cases we received valuable information from our residents," police wrote on social meda. "The information helped to identify these subjects and the vehicle they were using, a 2014 Silver Toyota Prius. They mainly targeted open garage doors and unlocked vehicles."

On the date of their arrest, both subjects were reported as acting suspicious in a Manhattan subdivision. The Manhattan Police Department was able to detain them and turned them over to Frankfort police.

Roberson was charged with 1 count of Residential Burglary, 2 counts of Burglary to Motor Vehicle and 1 count of Identity Theft/Unlawful Possession of Credit or Debit Card.

Thompson was charged with 2 counts of Burglary to Motor Vehicle and 1 count of Identity Theft/Unlawful Possession of Credit or Debit Card.

Both subjects were transferred to the custody of the Will County Adult Detention Facility.
