Des Plaines-area man arrested in connection with burglaries

An 18-year-old Des Plaines-area man was behind bars Sunday facing charges stemming from a pair of recent home burglaries, Cook County authorities said.

Humberto Moran is charged with two counts of residential burglary after Cook County sheriff's deputies arrested him early Saturday while responding to reports of a burglary in progress.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies first were called to the 9600 block of North Greenwood Avenue near Des Plaines about 3:30 a.m., but the burglar had fled.

While at the scene, deputies received a report of a suspicious person in a nearby apartment complex on the 8600 block of Golf Road.

Moran, who matched the description from the Greenwood Avenue location, was found at the Golf Road scene. He was charged with a second burglary after deputies found items stolen from another location, Sheriff Thomas Dart said in a news release.

Moran was scheduled to appear in court later Sunday for a bond hearing.
