Three men were taken into custody by Deerfield Police on Monday night after a chase by car and foot after a reported armed robbery, according to a news release by the Deerfield Police Department and information provided by Bannockburn Police Chief Ron Price.

The case was handled by Deerfield Police with assistance from other departments including Bannockburn, according to Price.

Deerfield Police received a 911 call at approximately 7:41 p.m. reporting an armed robbery in progress at the T-Mobile store located in the 100 block of South Waukegan Road, according to the release.

An officer in the area noticed a vehicle fleeing the scene and followed it to the vicinity of Interstate 94 and Half Day Road, according to the release. “They left the tollway and crashed their car into the median at Half Day Road,” Price said. They fled on foot.

Two subjects were taken into custody within minutes and the third was apprehended approximately 90 minutes later hiding in an office building, according to the release.

One of the suspects was apprehended by Bannockburn Lt. Jack Heneghan near the Half Day Road interchange, according to Price. “He was in the right place at the right time,” Price said. “No one was hurt.”

The second suspect was caught at the La Quinta Inn by a Deerfield officer, according to Price. Bannockburn Officer George Roberts took the third suspect into custody after he found him hiding in a restroom at the Bannockburn Executive Plaza at 2275 Half Day Road, according to Price.

The names of the offenders have not yet been released, according to the release.
