All three appeared in bond court at 26th and California on Saturday, the Chicago Tribune reported.

According to police, the Delgados and a third man who remains at large, broke into a home in the 9200 block of South Central Avenue around 11:30 p.m. Aug. 20.

Both victims were inside the home playing video games when the three men -- including the Delgados -- approached the home with their shirts pulled up over their faces, prosecutors alleged.

Prosecutors said the men demanded the victims’ valuables, hitting both with a shotgun and handgun, the Chicago Tribune recounted of Saturday’s bond hearing.

The men fled the home in a van and one of the victims gave chase. Prosecutors said that Juan Delgado fired a gun in the chase car’s direction.

The van was pulled over moments later by Burbank police. The men got out of the vehicle and fled. A third accomplice remains at large, Oak Lawn police said in an earlier news release.

Police found a shotgun, handgun, a wallet, PlayStation and two video games in the van, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said that Pico remained inside the van during the robbery, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Bail was set at $400,000 for the Delgados, and $300,000 for Pico. All three are due back in court in Bridgeview on Aug. 26.
