Fox Lake police rolled up on three men carrying back packs just before 3 a.m. Sunday near the intersection of Forest Avenue and Oak Street, police said in a news release. Two of the men appeared to be juveniles out after curfew, police said.

Police later learned the men had burglarized two vehicles on Mariner Lane, according to reports. The stolen property, including clothes, books and backpacks, was all recovered and returned, police said.
