3 Teens and 1 Adult Arrested For Stealing Alcohol At Oswego Walmart: Police

Oswego Police arrested several young people for stealing alcohol from Walmart, according to department press releases.

Just after 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, a 16-year-old male was caught stealing a bottle of alcohol from the Oswego Walmart. He was arrested by police, who also found a small amount of cannabis on the teen. He was charged with retail theft and possession of alcohol and cannabis.

Only 20 minutes after police arrested the 16-year-old, Thaddeus A. Jones and two teens were caught stealing alcohol from the same Walmart. Jones, a 20-year old from Aurora, was with a 17-year-old male from Montgomery and a 16-year-old male from Aurora. The three were charged with retail theft and unlawful possession and consumption of alcohol.

Around the same time that Jones the two teens were caught, Kendall County Sheriff deputies conducted a traffic stop near the Walmart and arrested two 17-year-olds. One was from Aurora, and the other was from Montgomery. One teen was charged with alcohol possession and the other was charged with alcohol consumption.

A charge is merely an accusation of a crime and not a finding of guilt.
