A juvenile has been arrested in connection with a string of burglaries in Montgomery in recent weeks targeting the Douglas Road corridor on the village’s east side, the Montgomery Police Department said on Thursday.
Over the past few weeks, several businesses have reported forced entries and property loss, the police department said in a news release.
In response, the department increased patrols and conducted a coordinated investigation, and ultimately identified and apprehended a suspect, the news release said. The suspect, a juvenile, was taken into custody and is being held at the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center.
The individual faces multiple charges, including felony burglary, the release said. Additional charges may be considered following the results of ongoing forensic analysis, officials said.
The department noted that it will “continue to work diligently as the investigation progresses,” and encouraged residents and business owners to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Montgomery Police Department.
