Several Thefts From Vehicles Reported in North La Grange Park, 2 Suspects Arrested: Police

There were several incidents of theft from automobiles early Sunday morning, the La Grange Police Department reported today.

The burglaries took place around 2 a.m. Sunday and were centered around the northern parts of La Grange Park and neighboring towns Brookfield and Broadview. The La Grange Park thefts took place in the 1200 block of Woodside and Meadowcrest.

The police said they believe the burglaries were a coordinated effort and arrested two suspects — one a juvenile and one 23-years old — for Criminal Trespass to Motor Vehicle and for stealing a car that had been left in the area, unlocked and with keys in it.

The suspects were arrested based on a call from a resident in the area of the thefts and several police officers doing random patrols early that morning.

In all cases of burglary, car doors were left unlocked. The La Grange police said they urge residents to always lock their cars at night, remove valuable items from sight and to report any suspicious behavior they see.
