ELMHURST, IL — Elmhurst Police have charged three suspects following an investigation of burglary and auto theft that occurred on Monday morning. The three suspects were found Monday after a manhunt involving several area police departments.

Tyrone Wilson, 19, of Chicago, Deanthony Webb, 23, of Chicago, and Deonte Daniel, 21, of Chicago, have all been charged with three counts of burglary and possession of stolen motor vehicle. Both of these charges are class 2 felonies. Through an investigation, police said they discovered that over 20 unlocked cars and several unlocked garages were entered in north Elmhurst to steal items of value and look for cars with keys in the ignition. One of the suspects apprehended was on parole and each of the suspects has prior criminal arrests.

According to the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office, bond has been set at $250,000 with 10 percent to apply for each of the three suspects. Patch reported previously when Elmhurst police officers responded to the incident, for a report of a prowler in the garage. The suspects fled the area in two vehicles, a Toyota and a Dodge, and the Toyota allegedly hit the Dodge in an attempt to flee, the State's Attorney's Office said. The Toyota then allegedly crashed into a home. A fourth suspect is believed to have fled the area during this time.

According to the State's Attorney's Office, Daniel was found in a garage; and a loaded handgun was also allegedly found at his location. Webb and Wilson were found walking on a nearby street.

Following an investigation led by the Elmhurst Police Department, the State's Attorney's Office said it is alleged that on Nov. 27, the men burglarized three vehicles on Gladys and Evergreen Streets in Elmhurst. It is further alleged that the Dodge vehicle in the men's possession was stolen the previous night out of Villa Park.

"In recent months, we have seen an increase in the type of brazen behavior alleged in this case throughout the Chicagoland area, particularly in the collar counties," State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a release. "Justice demands that we do all we can to prevent DuPage County residents from being victimized in such a manner. The fact that the defendants in this case were quickly apprehended and are now facing a substantial amount of time behind bars if convicted sends the message that if you commit such a crime in DuPage County, you will be held responsible for your actions."



"Elmhurst Police remain committed to the safety and protection of our community," Chief of Police Michael Ruth said in a release. "With the assistance of neighboring police agencies, we were able to identify and capture the suspects in a timely fashion."
