A man stole hundreds of vases from cemeteries in McHenry and Lake counties, authorities say, and was selling them for scrap.
An alert Lake County Sheriff’s deputy investigating the theft of a boat was able to follow up leads and arrest a suspect within days, police said.
A McHenry man has been charged in connection with an incident along Route 12 in Fox Lake in which he turned in front of a police squad and then tried “arrest” the officer, police said.
