Oak Lawn police this week arrested a second man wanted in connection to a home invasion in May in the area of 90th Street and Sproat Avenue.
Alonzo E. Gause, 32, was arrested September 16 in the 11500 block of South Aberdeen on a warrant issued for the home invasion, police said.
Gause, who has a history of robbery, assault and weapons offenses, was captured by the Chicago Police Fugitive Apprehension Unit who worked closely with Oak Lawn police detectives. Gause was charged with residential burglary and theft. He was ordered to be detained at Cook County Jail.
Jamaal Stevens, 27, was arrested July 8 and charged with residential burglary and theft, police said.
Oak Lawn police were dispatched to a home invasion call shortly after 2 p.m. on May 7 in the area of 90th Street and Sproat Avenue.
The homeowner told police that two masked men forced entry to his rear door and he confronted them. One of the men pointed a handgun at the homeowner before the two assailants fled with proceeds from the home. The men fled in a newer black Ford Ranger. The homeowner was not hurt.
The Ford Ranger involved in the incident has been located and Oak Lawn police are in the process of seizing it through the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Asset Forfeiture Unit.
Gause’s next court date is set for September 22 at the Bridgeview Courthouse.
