Three in custody following Radio Shack heist, chase

Three men were in custody Wednesday following an armed robbery and chase that began in Downers Grove and ended in Warrenville.

Authorities said the three men entered a Radio Shack store just before 11 a.m. at 7319 Lemont Road in Downers Grove, showed a handgun and demanded access to locked cabinets containing electronic devices. The men then used pepper spray on an employee and another customer before fleeing.

Police said a witness outside the store told them the men ran to a green Nissan and left the area driving west on 75th Street.

Officers located the vehicle heading north on I-355 and followed it to the area of Route 59 and Ferry Road in Warrenville, where the occupants stopped and ran from the car.

All three men were caught after a short foot pursuit, but authorities said no charges have yet been filed.
