The Mount Prospect Police Department responded about 7:05 a.m. Tuesday, April 7, 2026 to a home in the block of 1700 East Camp McDonald Road for a delayed report of an attempted burglary to motor vehicle after a resident viewed her security video.
The victim described that when she went out of her house to her Chevrolet Camaro which was parked in her driveway to leave for work, she noticed items from the glovebox were now on the floor of the car. The victim also noticed that the driver’s door of the Camaro was stuck and unable to open. The victim then reviewed video from her security cameras, and discovered that at approximately 5:20 a.m., the drivers of two vehicles pulled up in front of her home, and five people wearing masks exited and approached her Camaro. Two of the masked subjects appeared to be holding handguns and may have been acting as lookouts as two of the other masked subjects entered her vehicle. The victim described that the masked offenders all returned to their vehicles a short time later and drove away, eastbound on Camp McDonald Road.
The victim told police that nothing appeared to be missing from her vehicle, but the inside of the driver’s door was damaged.
The two offenders’ vehicles are described as:
Suspect vehicle 1: Light colored sedan, unknown registration
Suspect vehicle 2: Dark colored SUV, unknown registration
The five suspects are described as:
Suspect 1: Possibly white unknown gender, wearing a black colored hoodie, black colored pants, black colored shoes, black colored gloves and a black mask covering their face.
Suspect 2: Possibly white unknown gender, wearing dark colored hoodie, black colored pants, and black colored shoes.
