How the Grinch stole Christmas decorations from Leisure Lakes Membership Resort

The Christmas decorations at the entrance to Leisure Lakes Membership Resort were stolen less than two weeks before the holiday, police said.

The decorations were missing at the start of the work day Dec. 14, according to a statement released by the Will County Sheriff’s Office, and the thief may have been lurking and laying in wait outside the 21900 Southwest Frontage Road campground the afternoon prior.

About 4:30 p.m. the day before the theft was discovered, a Leisure Lakes employee spotted a woman in a vehicle parked at the entrance to the campground, police said.

The woman appeared to be about 60 years old, according to police.
