Joliet Burglar Targeted Several Overnight Victims Along Reed And Mason: English

JOLIET, IL — This week, the Joliet Police Department arrested Jared Haberman, a 42-year-old Chicago man, in connection with three different burglaries that happened on Joliet's west side back in late October.

According to police spokesman Dwayne English, on October 26, at 5:46 p.m., the officers responded to a home in the 700 block of North Reed Street for a delayed burglary report. A male burglar was captured on video shortly after 2 a.m. that morning stealing tools from multiple vehicles and an attached garage after arriving in the area in a vehicle, according to the arrest report.

The burglar was seen entering an unlocked pickup truck parked in the driveway and taking multiple power tool batteries. From there, the burglar entered a garage and left with more items before returning to his vehicle and driving south on Reed Street toward Mason Avenue, Joliet police revealed. A work van parked on Mason Avenue was later found to have additional tools missing as well.

Joliet's detectives eventually identified Haberman as their burglary suspect and this week, they obtained an arrest warrant for Haberman on three counts of burglary.

On Monday, Haberman was placed into custody without incident at 3:45 p.m. after being spotted in the 700 block of North Raynor Avenue. Haberman was taken to the Joliet Police Department and transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility.

Will County's Jail records indicate that Haberman was let go around 7:20 p.m. on Tuesday. Burglary crimes are not detainable under the SAFE-T-Act, court documents show. Haberman comes from Chicago's Sunnyside Avenue, the jail records indicate.
