3 Arrested In Connection With Frankfort T-Mobile Store Burglary: Cops

FRANKFORT, IL — Three people were arrested on Wednesday after Frankfort police said two of the suspects broke into a T-Mobile store and began removing security devices from display cell phones and tablets before being taken into custody along with the driver of a getaway vehicle, police said.

Three people were arrested and later identified by police as Tekiyel Thomas, 24, Albert Morris, 30, and Timeka Love, 36, police said in a news release. All three were charged with burglary and taken to the Will County Jail, police said.

The arrests took place after police received multiple reports of suspicious activity near Frankfort businesses on the corner of La Grange and St. Francis roads early Wednesday afternoon. Police said that two suspects, wearing face masks, had entered the T-Mobile store and began removing the security devices.

After taking several devices, the suspects fled toward a white Mazda CX-3 that was parked near an adjacent business, police said. A Will County deputy who was in the area chased one of the suspects on foot and took him into custody, police said.

Police said a Good Samaritan assisted Frankfort police with detaining apprehending the other suspect and the driver of the car, who were later identified as Morris and Love.

The three will appear in court on Thursday to face the charges.
