Investigation Underway Into Several Wonder Lake Burglaries

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Crime Stoppers of McHenry County are seeking the public’s help in finding the person or persons responsible for several residential burglaries which have occurred in unincorporated Wonder Lake.

During the past several weeks, entry has been gained into numerous attached garages in the 7400 block of MacArthur Avenue and 5100 block of E. Lakeshore Drive. Taken in the burglaries were a generator, compound miter saw, sawzall, cordless drill, weed eater, line trimmer, chainsaw, welder, pneumatic nailer, reciprocating saw, and other miscellaneous tools.

The Sheriff’s Office encourages residents to notify their local police department or Sheriff’s Office when they observe suspicious activities or persons in their neighborhood. When making notification, try to provide Telecommunicators with as much detail as possible of the vehicle(s) and subject(s) including the vehicle license plates information.

As a precaution, remember to lock your vehicle and residence at all times. When going on vacation this summer, notify the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office so we can do a “Vacation House Watch.”

The Sheriff's Department encourages anyone with information regarding this investigation to contact either the Crime Stoppers of McHenry County at 1-800-762-STOP (7867), The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office at (815) 338-2144, or the tip line email address; TipLine@co.mchenry.il.us. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.00 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the offender(s). Crime Stoppers does not use caller ID.
