Oak Park police arrested two individuals believed to be responsible for robbing an Oak Park resident of thousands of dollars in jewelry.
Police arrested a 26-year-old Oregon man and a 17-year-old juvenile in Schaumberg in connection with a robbery reported in the 1100 block of Wenonah Avenue in Oak Park on March 3, according to police records.
The suspects were reportedly driving south down an alley in a white Volvo before stopping in front of the victim’s garage when one of the suspects reportedly asked the victim if he’d like some rings. The victim approached the suspect and after they handed him the rings the suspect grabbed the victim, according to police records.
The suspects stole the victim’s necklace, which had a golden lion pendant with diamonds for eyes and the victim’s family initials engraved into it. The item was valued at $5,000, according to police records.
The suspects were charged with felony robbery, according to police.
