Two homes were along the 300 block of West Austin Avenue, one on the 600 block of East Lincoln Avenue and one on the 400 block of Hampton Terrace.

Police are investigating the case.

Theft from Scrap Metal Container

Police say a Mundelein man was seen removing items from a scrap metal container at Burgess Manufacturing, 1911 Industrial Drive, Libertyville.

Juan Garcia, 38, 48 S. Archer Ave., Mundelein, was charged Feb. 27 with theft under $300 and on a Lake County warrant for failure to appear on a driving under the influence charge.

He was released from Libertyville’s custody on a $1,500 personal recognizance bond but was transported to Lake County Jail, because he was unable to post 10 percent of the $20,000 bond on the Lake County warrant.
