Six individuals have been arrested and charged for their roles in at least four residential burglaries in Gurnee that occurred in late March and early April, police announced Friday. A joint effort of Gurnee detectives with the Lake County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division led to the arrests of the six suspects for the Gurnee burglaries and other burglaries in the county.

Evan Crews, 21, of Beach Park, and Jordan Gauze, 19, of Winthrop Harbor, were charged with three counts of residential burglary for their roles in burglaries in the 2500 block of Hastings Lane on March 20, the 1100 block of Sumner Circle and the 6600 block of Foxworth Lane on April 4, police said.
