Police say on Nov. 25, 2015, Vega allegedly drove Johnson near a residence in the 200 Block of Willington Way in Oswego.

On Dec. 22, 2015, Vega allegedly drove Williams and Thomas to the Gas Mart USA located in the 2500 Block of Light Road in Oswego. Williams and Thomas entered the business armed with a handgun and took cash and cigarettes, police said. The men then left the area in Vega’s vehicle.

On Dec. 31, 2015, Vega allegedly drove Williams and Thomas to the Marathon Gas Station located in the 0-100 Block of Boulder Hill Pass. Williams and Thomas entered the business armed with a screwdriver and one of them assaulted the clerk with a wine bottle, police said. During the robbery, Williams and Thomas took cash and all three of the men left the area in Vega’s vehicle, according to police.

On Jan. 29, 2016, Vega allegedly drove Fonseca and Williams near the same residence in the 200 Block of Willington Way in Oswego. Vega waited while Fonseca and Williams pushed the same female resident down and took her purse, police said. All three of the men left the area in Vega’s vehicle.

“Five men are being brought to justice for their brazen acts of violence against the citizens of Kendall County. Not only is this an example of how well police cooperate and work together, but it is an example that we will not tolerate this type of behavior,” said Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird.

Four of the five men are currently in custody. Thomas, Fonseca, and Johnson are all currently in custody at the Kane County Jail while Williams is in custody at the Will County Jail. Vega is expected to be in custody shortly on his outstanding charges.
