Mount Prospect police seek suspects in overnight vehicle break-ins

Mount Prospect police are investigating three vehicle break-ins early Monday morning involving at least one suspect who appeared armed with a handgun.

The break-ins occurred between 3:59 a.m. and 4:33 a.m. outside homes on the 300 block of South Louis Street, the 800 block of South Elm Street and the 900 block of Greenfield Lane, according to police.

Victims told investigators their unlocked vehicles were parked in their driveways and items inside had been moved around, police said.

In the security footage from all three homes, two masked suspects — one holding what looks like a gun — step out of a white SUV, open the vehicles then leave.

Both suspects were wearing dark masks, light-colored, zip-up hooded sweatshirts, dark pants and gym shoes, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Mount Prospect Police Department’s Investigations Section at (847) 870-5654.
