Hinsdale Car Theft Cases Yield Arrests

HINSDALE, IL — Hinsdale police arrested two South Holland men this week in connection with car thefts, police said in a news release. The arrests were part of a larger operation involving area law enforcement agencies that resulted in a total of nine suspects charged.

Christian Green, 18, of Harvey, has been charged with one count of residential burglary and one count of aggravated possession of a stolen vehicle. The charges stem from a Feb. 9 incident in which Green entered a garage on South Lincoln Street and stole a Jaguar, police said. The Jaguar sped away from Hinsdale police later in the morning of Feb. 9 in south suburban Harvey, according to the release. Green is in the DuPage County Jail on a $75,000 bond.

Jarone Carter, 24, has been charged with one count of possession of a stolen motor vehicle. He is in the DuPage County Jail on a $50,000 bond. Carter's charges involve the possession of a stolen Audi A6 in Hinsdale on Tuesday, police said.

"This is a continuing investigation," Hinsdale Police Chief Brian King said in a statement. "We are working with our law enforcement partners and the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office to identify additional offenders and lodge additional charges."

King advised Hinsdale residents to lock their cars and secure their key fobs.
