Suspect in custody after Huntley car theft

Police have a suspect in custody after tracking a Huntley woman’s car, which was stolen late Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.

The owner of a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu noticed her car missing from the 10600 block of Harry Drive in Huntley at about 5:10 p.m. Wednesday and called 911, police said.

Police officers were able to track the vehicle onto I-290 and pull the driver over just off the interstate in Oak Park around 6 p.m., police said.

The car was being tracked during the theft, but there was not a police chase, according to an Illinois State Police spokesman.

The suspect was being held by Oak Park Police late Wednesday before being transferred to the Huntley Police Department where further charges are expected.
