I've been reading a lot of stories lately about criminals from the Windy City making their way to the suburbs to break the law. Here's the perfect example of what's happening.

Illinois Thieves Start Police Chase

The thieves headed to their getaway car and took off. They were speeding down I-290 when they tried to avoid the cops by exiting the highway. The suspects were traveling way too fast and crashed on the ramp. The trio took off running but the cops eventually caught up with them and they were arrested.

According to fox32chicago.com,

Three Chicago men traveled to the suburbs on Wednesday and allegedly stole more than $6,000 in alcohol from a liquor store before leading police on a chase on I-290.

 

Prosecutors say 27-year-old Travonta Turner, 26-year-old Deandre Richardson and 27-year-old Jonnie Fort entered the liquor store and began filling up bags with liquor bottles. The items in total were worth $6,123.29.
