The police department is investigating 2 damage to property incidents that occurred in the early morning hours last Wednesday July 23rd. We have gathered videos of the incident and also recovered other forensic evidence. We also plan to interview some witnesses who may have seen the offenders. When the offenders are identified, we will be seeking multiple felony charges through Kane County. If however, the offenders come forward on their own or via their parents, we would consider using our local adjudication process to avoid filing felony charges. That said, once we identify the suspects through investigation, all offers, consideration and opportunity to utilize local adjudication will be off the table.
