Will County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded about 2:48 p.m. Wednesday, December 10, 2025 to a reported home invasion in the 16800 block of South Deer Path in the Village of Homer Glen.
A 73-year-old female resident reported that upon returning home from grocery shopping and while pulling her vehicle into her garage, she was confronted by a black, male wearing a black hoodie. He was holding a handgun and pointed his handgun at her. He demanded cash. A second male who was described similarly, exited a dark-colored Acura. He had been following her in the Acura. Responding deputies were able to confirm that the vehicle was stolen out of Chicago.
The offenders forced the victim into her residence at gunpoint, sat her in a chair, and bound her wrists and ankles using items from inside the home. They removed a credit card from her purse, while demanding her PIN number and threatening her life. Shortly after leaving the residence, the offenders withdrew $2,000 from the victim’s account at a bank located in Orland Park.
Approximately 20 minutes later, the victim was able to free herself and seek help from a neighbor. Deputies immediately began investigating the incident and disseminated information to surrounding law enforcement agencies in an effort to locate the stolen vehicle. Deputies were able to quickly determine that the offenders and the vehicle were no longer in the area and were headed to the City of Chicago. Attempts to locate the offenders and their vehicle were unsuccessful.
As the investigation progressed, the Will County Sheriff’s Office communicated details of the incident to Village of Homer Glen officials. At this time, investigators believe the crime was random, and the victim was targeted because of her age.
“We remind the public to remain alert and aware of your surroundings, especially when arriving home. If you observe suspicious individuals or vehicles in your neighborhood, please contact law enforcement immediately.”
