Highland police arrested a Riverdale, Ill., man early Thursday after police said he and a partner stole tools and led police on a chase that ended along a bike trail.
A resident in the 9000 block of Hess Drive contacted police shortly after 3:30 a.m. when he saw two men removing tools from a neighbor's vehicle, a Highland police news release states.
Police responded, and the two men fled in a van.
Police said they caught the passenger, 36-year-old Lamont Antwon Johnson, of Riverdale, but are still seeking the driver.
Highland Police Cmdr. George Georgeff said Johnson also was wanted in Peoria, Ill.
Anyone with information about the crime or the second man is asked to call Highland police at (219) 838-3184.
