Forest Preserve Police Arrest 3 on Vehicle Burglary Charges

Forest Preserve District of Will County Police arrested three people Tuesday on multiple motor vehicle burglary charges, according to a release from the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

Sean Becker, 27, Marcellus Pretlow, 28, and Sarah Windish, 37, all of Crest Hill, were booked into the Will County Jail on the burglary charges.

The arrests were made after police received a call at around 7 p.m. Tuesday from a woman who said someone broke her car window and stole her purse while her vehicle was parked at Lake Renwick Preserve – Turtle Lake Access. Officers who arrived on the scene advised the victim to call her bank to see if any of her credit cards were being used. One card had been used at a shop in the Louis Joliet Mall. Police responded to the shop, and with the help of Joliet police and mall security the three suspects were apprehended.

Police believe the suspects may have been responsible for a series of vehicle break-ins in the Plainfield, northern Joliet and Shorewood areas in recent weeks. Individuals who believe they may have been victims of these crimes, and police departments that are investigating similar incidents should contact Forest Preserve District police at 815-722-9377.
