Berwyn Police Blotter
Friendly old lady’s new pal suspected in theft
June 3, 2007, 11:07 PM
A 45-year-old man told police his very friendly elderly mother, who walks around town chatting with people she meets, brought a man back to their shared home in the 3700 block of Euclid. The man reported coming home at 10:15 PM to find a stranger in the house— a new acquaintance of Mom’s. Once the man left, the young son’s Game Boy was missing, too. The dad described the stranger’s car to police. The plates registered to a Joliet man with an extensive criminal history including assaults, armed robbery, weapons offenses and more. The rap sheet also identified the car owner as a member of a well-known street gang. When the suspected thief is found, the homeowner intends to sign a complaint.
