Suspect Broke Into Cars, Used Stroller To Carry Stolen Goods: Oak Lawn Police

(STMW) -- A man allegedly broke into five vehicles and used a stroller to carry the stolen items last week in southwest suburban Oak Lawn.

Around 11:40 p.m. Nov. 30, Oak Lawn police responded to the 4800 block of West 91st Street, where a resident saw someone going through their car before leaving while pushing a stroller, Oak Lawn police said.

Officers stopped someone matching the description nearby, and found he was carrying stolen items in the stroller, police said.

Officers found that 21-year-old Marco A. Salgado Jr. had broken into five vehicles and used a stroller to carry the stolen personal items from each burglary, police said.

Salgado Jr. was charged Friday with five counts of burglary to a motor vehicle, police said. He was jailed on a $50,000 bond.
