Arlington Heights, IL – A coordinated law enforcement effort has led to felony charges against six men allegedly tied to a burglary ring responsible for over 115 break-ins across the Chicago suburbs, according to police.
According to a press release from the Arlington Heights Police Department, the investigation—dubbed “Operation Last Call”—culminated in the indictment of 98 felony charges involving burglary, theft, organized retail crime, and attempted burglary. The operation targeted a crew allegedly tied to a West Side Chicago gang and involved agencies from more than 20 jurisdictions.
Antonio Lewis, 26, of Chicago, is still wanted and faces 33 counts of burglary, along with charges of theft, organized retail crime, and attempted burglary. Also still at large are Darryl D. Williamson, 25, and Demario M. Brown, 26, both of Chicago, facing similar felony charges.
Marquise D. Williamson, 24, of Wheeling, who is charged with 13 counts of burglary and other felonies, is scheduled to appear in court on July 17 at 9 a.m. in Lake County. Dequane J. Hall, 29, and Jimmy C. Hall, 30, both of Chicago, are scheduled for court appearances on July 21 at the DuPage County Courthouse.
Authorities said the alleged burglary crew used stolen vehicles and altered plates to break into retail stores, stealing electronics, liquor, and cosmetics. Some suspects were seen armed during these incidents. Police noted the crew often reached speeds over 100 mph to evade capture.
Chief Nicholas A. Pecora Jr. called the case a “well-coordinated multijurisdictional response to a pattern crime designed to hold the criminal element responsible.”
Anyone with information regarding the three suspects still wanted is urged to contact the Arlington Heights Police Department.
