Police are still searching for suspects following a report of a burglary and hit-and-run crash in Elmhurst Monday morning, police said.
Elmhurst Police Commander Steve Wright said as many as three suspects were in custody Monday morning but authorities were still searching for a fourth person in connection with the incident.
Authorities said the crash happened around 5 a.m. as officers responded to a report of a burglary at a garage in the suburban town.
As they tried to stop a vehicle near West Avenue and Gladys, it fled and struck a police car. Several suspects then fled on foot, authorities said.
"At this time Elmhurst police officers along with assistance from surrounding police agencies and police K-9 dogs are searching the area for the suspects," police said.
Authorities said they were searching for four suspects but little information was given on their descriptions. By 9 a.m., three of the four suspects were in custody, authorities said.
Police could be seen blocking West Avenue from North Avenue to Lake Street and Armitage east of West Avenue.
