A car whose occupants are suspected of smashing the rear windows of three vehicles that were parked at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines on Wednesday, Sept. 20 between 7:14 and 7:19 p.m. managed to elude police after turning onto the eastbound lanes of I-190. <\/p>\n
Police believe that items inside two of the autos were taken. At about 7:15 p.m. after one of the victims parked their vehicle in a casino parking garage, someone smashed the rear passenger window and took items within the vehicle before fleeing the scene. <\/p>\n
Security video showed a black Honda Civic with no front hubcaps pull up near the vehicle during the time of the incident. <\/p>\n
A second similar offense, said police, had taken place in the same area a minute earlier. Items were also taken from this vehicle. Security video also showed a black Honda Civic with no front hubcaps pull up near the vehicle during the time of the incident. <\/p>\n
At 7:19 p.m., another victim said the same type of damage occurred to his car, but nothing was taken. Again, security video showed a black Honda Civic with no front hubcaps pull up near the vehicle during the time of the incident. <\/p>\n
Later that evening, Des Plaines police were dispatched to assist another agency regarding a report of several subjects in a black Honda Civic with no front hubcaps in a parking lot in Rosemont. The occupants of the vehicle were wearing ski masks, reports added. <\/p>\n
Officers located the vehicle in a business parking lot in the 9600 block of Higgins Road in Rosemont on the border with Des Plaines. A Des Plaines officer positioned his squad car behind the Honda and observed that the vehicle did not have any registration. <\/p>\n
As the vehicle pulled out onto Devon Avenue toward River Road, the officer activated his emergency lights in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The vehicle would not stop for the officer as it traveled south on River Road. The officer followed the vehicle until it entered the I-190 expressway eastbound where the pursuit was terminated. <\/p>\n
It was later learned the Honda was the same vehicle that was seen on security footage allegedly committing the car vandalism in the casino parking garage. <\/p>\n
