Police Searching for Suspects in String of Overnight Burglaries

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 30, 2014, we experienced a series of related incidents on the west side of Lake Forest. Prior to 4 AM, approximately ten (10) cars were burglarized in the 1600 block of West Devonshire Lane in the southwest corner of our town. It is possible one residence was burglarized as well.

A homeowner’s Honda was stolen from a driveway on Devonshire, then apparently driven to the 800 block of West Larchmont, where it was abandoned. In the 800 block of West Larchmont Lane, a residential burglary was committed and property stolen. In addition, two cars, a BMW and a Lexus, were stolen from this home. An additional residential burglary was committed in the 600 block of North Burton Drive, which is nearby.

At this moment, the only suspect or vehicle description we have is from a resident who saw a large, light-colored pickup truck parked and running on West Larchmont about the time of the burglaries. It left the area as the resident approached it.

If anyone has information about these incidents, especially sightings of suspicious subjects or vehicles in these areas, we would ask them to contact Detective Kevin Zelk at 847.810.3816 or ZelkK@cityoflakeforest.com. In addition, we are asking that any homeowners who live in these areas with video security systems recording the street, sidewalk or their driveways contact us so we can have an officer review their video with them.
