“The subject did not live at the location and was further discovered to be carrying a bag that contained several personal items that did not belong to him,” according to a report.

Upon checking the garage, officers discovered two vehicles that appeared to have been ransacked and were registered to the same name - that of a 58-year-old Evanston man - as the personal items that were located in the bag the subject was carrying.
