Pair Charged With Oak Brook Theft: Police

OAK BROOK, IL – Two Venezuelans were arrested over the weekend after stealing nearly $800 in clothing from an Oak Brook store, prosecutors said.

One of them tried to get away from an officer, police said.

Lenguieyer Guevara-Muro, 27, and Jinder Moises Angulo-Aparicio, 20, were identified as being arrested on charges of burglary and retail theft.

The men were accused of stealing the items about 12:30. p.m. Saturday at Macy's, 1 Oakbrook Center.

Guevara-Muro carried a foil-lined bag, which is believed to help suspects bypass anti-theft detectors, police said.

When Macy's employees approached Guevara-Muro, he refused to stop, according to a news release from DuPage County prosecutors. He also failed to stop when an Oak Brook officer ordered him to do so, police said.

Guevara-Muro resisted being arrested, so the officer brought him to the ground to be handcuffed, police said.

Angulo-Aparicio left Macy’s a short while later and was arrested, police said.

“For the second day in a row, my office has filed charges against individuals from Venezuela accused of stealing merchandise from a retail store,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in the news release.

The other instance was at Kohl's in Elmhurst.

A DuPage County judge denied prosecutors' request to jail the men until their trial. They were released.
