Elmhurst Police Investigating Home Burglary Attempt

A man tried to kick in the back door of a home around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17.

Elmhurst police are investigating the reported home burglary attempt in the 200 block of North Clinton.

The attempted burglar is described as a white man, medium build, wearing a red hoodie and a ball cap, according to Elmhurst police.

He fled the area at a fast-walking pace, northbound on Clinton toward North Avenue. Because of the rain, a police K-9 wasn’t able to track the man beyond a few houses.

Elmhurst residents are reminded to lock all doors and to immediately report suspicious activity by calling 911.

Anyone with information on the identity of this man is asked to call the Elmhurst Police Department at 630-530-3050 or email policeinfo@elmhurst.org.
