TINLEY PARK, IL -- There's now a $2,000 reward offered for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the offenders responsible for the home invasion that occurred in Tinley Park over the weekend. The reward will be offered by the Illinois State Crime Commission at the request and recommendation of Tinley Park Mayor Jacob Vandenberg, according to a news release from the village of Tinley Park.

Previous reports indicate three men armed with handguns entered a home in the 8000 block of Pottawatomi Trail just before midnight on Saturday through an open garage door. They demanded all cell phones and electronics from the victims, according to reports.
