This is a great example of an incident where a resident quickly alerted the police when seeing suspicious activity. Remember, if you see something, say something. Safety starts with us!
On February 23, 2023 at approximately 3:20 a.m. the Villa Park Police Department initiated a pursuit of a reported stolen vehicle on Roosevelt Road. The vehicle pursuit continued through several streets in Villa Park and Lombard before entering Elmhurst on St. Charles Road. Pursuing units lost sight of the vehicle in south Elmhurst and Elmhurst police officers began searching the area.
Minutes later, an alert resident on the 100 block of S. Chandler Ave. spotted a vehicle parked in their driveway that did not belong there. The resident immediately called 911. Responding Elmhurst and Villa Park Police officers then safety took a male and female occupant of the vehicle into custody.
Investigation at the scene indicated the vehicle had pulled into the resident's driveway to hide after being pursued. The two occupants are in the custody of the Villa Park Police Department as the agency that initiated this investigation.
Elmhurst PD would like to thank the alert resident who called 911 immediately, allowing us to quickly and safely take the two suspects into custody. If you see something, say something!
