The Peotone Police Department issued a press release indicating that on April 20, at approximately 2 p.m., two individuals walked into the Peotone Liquor Store and committed a retail theft.
The suspects grabbed several bottles of alcohol and hurried out.
Peotone resident Danielle Leighton was a witness and said she saw two black males in their twenties run out of the liquor store toward the Vegas Gaming Cafe and behind it when she was working out at the gym right next door. She said the individuals were carrying quite a few bottles of liquor and disappeared behind the gaming cafe, most likely into a car, because she followed after hearing the liquor store employee yell, but then lost them.
The detective division is following up on several leads, and the Peotone Police Department thanked the residents who provided pertinent information.
