Two Men Charged in Residential Burglary

Two teenagers were charged with felony residential burglary after an Evergreen Park apartment was ransacked on May 17.

Officers responded to a call from the 9800 block of Pulaski Road for a residential burglary in progress at 9:30 a.m. Police said the caller described four subjects, one of whom was carrying a bag and another who was carrying a television. When police arrived, they found forced entry into the apartment, which appeared to be ransacked, reports said.

While checking inside the building, the officers found a flat-screen television and a set of keys in the furnace room of the burglarized apartment building. The person living in the apartment positively identified those items as hers.

Police said that at about 11:30 a.m., officers from the Oak Lawn Police Department found three subjects matching the caller’s description, and they stopped two of the subjects—Cortrell Rush, 17, of Oak Lawn, and a juvenile. Police said they found a digital camera in Rush’ s pocket.

A third subject, Robert Nash, 19, of Chicago, was later apprehended after police received information about where he lived. Nash and Rush both were charged with felony residential burglary.

The fourth subject, a 15-year-old juvenile, was later found and petitioned to court.
