HINSDALE, IL – Three people were arrested last week after smashing a passenger window and stealing a woman's purse from her car at Hinsdale's Veeck Park, police said.

The car burglary occurred shortly before noon Jan. 28. The woman's credit card was then fraudulently used at a Hodgkins store, police said in a news release.

The three suspects, who were believed to be part of the Felony Lane Gang, were later arrested by Vernon Hills police on separate felony charges, authorities said. They were then taken to Hinsdale.

Arrested on car burglary charges were Kendia S. Ware, 27, Coconut Creek, Florida; William D. Fleinor, 26, of Miami; and Sherrod L. Robinson, 29, of Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. Robinson was also charged with identity theft.
