Alan Ely, 23, of Mount Prospect; Corky Miller, 40 of Chicago; Michael Miller, 40, of Niles; Lawrence Miller, 18, of Prospect Heights; and Rocky Reed, 23, of Mount Prospect, each are charged with felony residential burglary. Corky Miller also is charged with felony aggravated fleeing and eluding for driving away from detectives.
On Tuesday afternoon, detectives were conducting burglary surveillance on the east side of the village when they noticed a vehicle on Spring Creek Circle that matched the description of one involved in a burglary in another community.
Police then saw two men running from a home and get into that vehicle, which already had three people inside. Police then began to follow that vehicle, which took several “evasive actions in an effort to lose detectives,” police said.
After a short chase, including two minor accidents — one with a Schaumburg squad car — the five men were stopped and arrested, police said.
The investigation revealed two of the men approached two elderly residents at their home on Spring Creek Circle, wearing construction gear.
When the residents answered their door, the men allegedly forced their way in claiming they were doing construction work down the street and had struck something, police said. The men stated they had to check for a possible problem with lighting in the home.
The men then ran from the home without stealing anything when the others in the vehicle outside alerted them of police in the area, police said.
A Schaumburg police detective on Tuesday, Nov. 29 was conducting burglary surveillance on the east side of the village and reportedly observed a vehicle on Spring Creek Circle that matched the description of burglary suspects from another community.
The detective then observed two suspects run from a residence and enter a vehicle already occupied by three other suspects, police said. The detective followed the vehicle while calling for marked patrol units to assist.
Police said the vehicle took several evasive actions in an effort to "lose" the detective. When a marked patrol unit arrived, officers attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle fled from officers and was involved in two separate and minor traffic crashes, one with a civilian and one with a Schaumburg police car, at the intersection of Woodfield Road and Mall Drive.
All five suspects were taken into custody at that point. Only the driver of the civilian vehicle claimed a minor injury.
According to police, investigation determined that two of the suspects approached two elderly residents at their home on Spring Creek Circle, located south of Higgins Road and east of Meacham Road.
Police said one suspect wore a construction type hard hat while the second suspect carried a two-way radio. When the elderly residents answered their door, the two suspects allegedly barged in claiming they were doing construction work down the street and had struck something. The suspects stated they had to check for a possible problem with lighting in the home.
The suspects fled the home without stealing anything when alerted of the possible presence of police in the area by their partners waiting in the vehicle, police said.
Bond was set for Corky Miller at $50,000. Lawrence Miller, Reed, and Ely all received $20,000 bonds.
Michael Miller was taken into custody by the Cook County Sheriff's Dept. and is being held without bond for a probation violation.
