Brumfield, Hodges, Edwards and Anthony Hubanks, 19, then robbed El Paraisio Restaurant at 14 N. McAcree Road on May 1.

The fifth armed robbery took place May 4 at the intersection of Chestnut Street and Ridgeland Avenue when Brumfield, Hodges and Hubanks robbed a cab driver.

The final robbery occurred May 6 at MVP Sports at 2214 Grand Ave.

Yancey said following a week-long investigation, authorities were able to capture the offenders at various locations in Waukegan.

Some of the suspects were apprehended during traffic stops where items and money were located inside vehicles, Yancey said.

Police also were able to recover a .32-caliber pistol from Hubanks during a search of his home.

"It could be characterized as a skillful and determined effort by the our department to apprehend a large criminal operation preying upon vulnerable citizens and unsuspecting businesses," Yancey said. "These arrests should send a message to criminal elements that we will utilize every resource available to bring persons operating outside the law to justice." Waukegan

Can't wait for there mamas to come out to say they're all good boys.
When you have a segment of society that glamorizes prison you get kids who think it's acceptable or maybe even desirable to get sent there. There's a whole different set of rules for some. Yancey's comment at the end of the artice doesn't take that into consideration. I think the message he is sending to these kids is being interpreted as: "I'll help you achieve your goal".
Gangs.... what if the two victims were you and I just hanging out in our yard? This is lawlessness gone wild.


Two in hospital after bloody gang attack

A vicious gang attack left two Prospect Heights residents in the hospital this weekend.

Prospect Heights Police arrested and charged Julio Cruz, 18, of the 4900 block of Algonquin Parkway, Rolling Meadows, and Ranferi Vasquez, 27, of the 9300 block of Western Ave., Niles, with two counts of aggravated battery great bodily harm.

At 1:47 a.m. May 9, police responded to a fight in progress at 854 Piper Lane, Prospect Heights. The two victims were lying in the street and were transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital by Prospect Heights Fire Department personnel, police said.

Police said witnesses saw four males and one female get out of a red pickup truck and beat the two victims with golf clubs and kick them once they were on the ground. Witnesses also saw the pickup truck had one window that was smashed out.

Prospect Heights Police found and stopped a red pick up truck fitting that description a short distance away from the fight scene with four juveniles and Cruz and Vasquez inside. All five suspects were arrested.

Police said upon questioning Cruz and Vasquez admitted to being members of a street gang and were driving though various areas to find members of a rival gang.

Police said while driving down Piper Lane, the suspects were making gang gestures to people on the street when an unknown object broke the passenger's-side window of their truck.

Cruz and Vasquez then grabbed the golf clubs from the rear of the truck and began to beat and kick the two victims, police said.

Both victims are in critical condition, one with a broken jaw, broken nose and broken left orbital socket and bruising on the brain. The second victim received large lacerations to the head, neck and arm requiring several staples to close the wounds.

The victims were not affiliated with any street gang, police said.

The juvenile offenders also were charged. Two juveniles were held in custody and taken to the Juvenile Detention Facility and two were released to their parents.
This is happening nationwide. It's the economy
