Five men have been charged with stealing more than $35,000 worth of musical equipment from the college.



Cook County Judge Israel Desierto set bail at $10,000 for each man Saturday. He offered a stern warning for the suspects, all of whom have no criminal backgrounds, according to prosecutors.



"You are jeopardizing your futures, gentlemen," Desierto told the men.



Prosecutors said the burglaries happened between Sept. 25 and Monday in a UIC building. On at least one occasion, the suspects broke wooden lockers and pried them open to take the equipment.



The incidents were captured on video, according to prosecutors. Court records show one of the men, Noah Benjamin Ferris, tried to pawn a stolen trumpet Oct. 13.



The suspects, who all live in the 400 block of South Morgan Street, were arrested Friday morning. Kenneth Stanek, 18, and Rodney Moore, 19, have been charged with four counts of burglary and one count of criminal damage. Emilio Miguel Guzman, 24, has been charged with two counts of burglary. Ferris, 18, has been charged with three counts of burglary and one count of criminal damage. Rasheed Williamson, 21, has been charged with two counts of burglary.
