21 Squad Car Chase Near Louis Mall: Raw VIDEO

JOLIET, IL - It was a wild day on Joliet's west side on Friday afternoon as Joliet Police officers, Will County Sheriff's Police, Illinois State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigations special agents were busy investigating a number of apparent armed robbery attempts. FBI special agent Janine Wheeler out of Chicago confirmed for Patch that there was an attempted robbery at the Chase bank at 2222 Essington Road at 12:59 p.m. "I have no additional information to share at this time," she responded by email.

By mid-afternoon, Alfonso Lucas Garcia was near the Louis Joliet Mall when several police cars buzzed by. They were in hot pursuit of a maroon sports utility vehicle. Garcia's Facebook page went haywire after he uploaded a short video that captured part of the police pursuit, a video later uploaded to YouTube.

"Live PD happening right now! Haha this is crazy in Joliet by the mall," he wrote on social media.

On Friday evening, one area news outlet reported that a lone suspect, a man from Plainfield, was captured in connection with the attempted bank robbery plus several other Friday afternoon attempted robberies including the Burger King by the Louis Joliet Mall and the 7-Eleven by the mall.
