UPDATED Tues., Sept. 29: Police today identified Dennis Tabor, 17, of 1007 S La Grange Rd as the man arrested at 10:17 a.m. Monday while trying to break into a locked vehicle with a crowbar on the 100 block of S Ashland Ave. Tabor was arraigned today at the Bridgeview courthouse on one count of attempted burglary.
Police Lt. Vic Arnold said the suspect apparently sought to steal a global positioning system (GPS) device inside the vehicle. Arnold said he does not believe Tabor is connected to any of the several night-time burglaries that have occurred in recent weeks. A 19-year-old Chicago man arrested in the pre-dawn hours of Sept 20 subsequently was charged with five counts of burglary related to some of those incidents.
La Grange police today arrested a man who was attempting to break into a vehicle in a residential area, Village President Elizabeth Asperger announced at tonight's regular session of the village board of trustees.
Police Lt. Vic Arnold, who was in attendance at tonight's meeting, confirmed the arrest but did not provide the identity of the suspect or the location of the incident. Arnold said details of the arrest would be available to reporters Tuesday.
Today's arrest was the second in past eight days involving burglary, Asperger said. Anthony Harris, 19, of Chicago was arrested in the early hours of Sept. 20 and subsequently charged with five counts of burglary involving three homes and two vehicles.
In both arrests, police responded to calls from residents who reported seeing suspicious persons in their neighborhoods, Asperger said.
