A man is in custody in connection with an early morning break-in to an Oswego Sprint store, police said.
Police were called to the 2800 Route 34 store at 3:45 a.m. Friday after witnesses reported hearing an activated alarm and saw two men running from the business toward Douglas Road and a white Nissan with Pennsylvania license plates, an Oswego Police Department news release said.
The burglars shattered the store’s front window and stole an estimated $500 worth of merchandise, the release said.
Police were able to pull the Nissan over and arrested driver Cortez R. Morrow, 34, of the 6000 block of Rhodes Avenue, Chicago, on a charge of driving on a revoked license. One count of burglary was added later after being authorized by the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office, the release said.
No other occupants were in the vehicle, police said.
The two suspects seen running from the store were described as male, with medium builds and average heights. One appeared to be in his mid-30s with short hair and the other was described as being in his 20s with wavy hair, the release said.
Cortez is being held in the Kendall County jail. A bond hearing is scheduled for Sunday.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Oswego Police Department at 630-551-7300 or anonymously to Kendall County Crime Stoppers at 630-553-5999. Cash rewards are paid for tips leading to an arrest.
