A Chicago man was jailed after he was charged in connection with two hit-and-run crashes in Romeoville and with carrying two handguns without a firearm owner’s identification card.

The investigation of Camilo Castro-Carreto, 21, began when officers responded to two hit-and-run crashes on Aug. 30.

Officers responded to a crash at Route 53 and Normantown Road and then a short time later at another crash at or near Route 53 and Joliet Road, in the area of Veterans Woods, said Romeoville Police Chief Ken Kroll.

“It is believed the same dark Nissan was involved in both traffic crashes,” Kroll said.

Near Veterans Woods, witnesses said the driver of a dark Nissan fled from the damaged vehicle on foot, Kroll said. The damaged and abandoned Nissan was in a ditch along the roadside, he said.

Officers saw open beer cans, two handguns and a man’s wallet inside the Nissan, Kroll said. Castro-Carreto’s driver’s license and bank cards were discovered in the wallet, he said.

Detectives were able to secure an arrest warrant for Castro-Carreto after various witness identifications, search warrants for private video surveillance footage and other investigative measures, Kroll said.

On March 11, Judge Domenica Osterberger signed a warrant for Castro-Carreto’s arrest on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and leaving the scene of a property damage accident. The warrant carried a $25,000 bond.

The criminal complaint alleged Castro-Carreto carried a Smith & Wesson and Glock handguns without a valid firearm owner’s identification card. Castro-Carreto was also charged with damaging two vehicles and failing to remain on scene to provide information and render aid.

Castro-Carreto’s attorney Cosmo Tedone motioned to have his client’s bond reduced to $10,000 after arguing the $25,000 amount was “oppressive and not considerate of the financial ability of the defendant.”

A judge set Castro-Carreto’s bond at $15,000 and ordered him to comply with electronic monitoring. Castro-Carreto bonded out of jail on Thursday.
