Police activity in the Elmhurst area as Elmhurst police were initially investigating a report of fleeing suspects from a property damage hit-and-run crash involving a stolen vehicle on I-290 eastbound at St. Charles Road near Elmhurst about 11:43 a.m. Saturday, September 26, 2020.

Four suspects jumped the wall from I-290 into a nearby neighborhood southwest of the interchange and were running in the area. The suspects tried to get picked up in an initially unknown white vehicle, where a driver apparently arrived to help them flee.
