Kidnapping, Home Invasion Scheme Thwarted: Cops

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — Two men have charged with home invasion in connection with an incident in Highland Park last week. At least one of the men plotted to kidnap the woman who lived at the home the men are charged with burglarizing, police announced Monday.

Neighbors on the 1000 block of Deerfield Place reported a disturbance at about 5:20 a.m. on May 29, according to Highland Park Police.

Responding officers found a victim, witnesses and two men who were later charged with several felonies over the incident, police said.

Uladzimir Marozau, 33, of the 2100 block of North Ginger Circle in Palatine, was charged with home invasion, residential burglary, possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest, battery and attempted kidnapping.

The victim was taken to the hospital for minor injuries and later released. Investigators determined the woman was known to at least one of the alleged intruders, and the incident was not random.

Another man, Dimitry Voronin, 39, of the 5800 block of Rose Avenue in Countryside, was charged with home invasion and residential burglary.

Both men are being held on $1 million bond and have court appearances scheduled for June 9 in Waukegan.
