(AP) – Authorities say seven people have been arrested in
central Illinois after an alleged theft at a St. Louis mall and an interstate
car chase.
Police say two vehicles were allegedly involved in a theft on Saturday morning
at the Plaza Frontenac in St. Louis.
Frontenac Police Chief Tom Becker says the alleged thieves smashed glass
display cases at Saks Fifth Avenue to steal purses and then fled.
One vehicle headed north on Interstate 55, leading to a police chase. The
vehicle stopped just south of Farmersville in Illinois. All seven people who
attempted to flee on foot were captured.
Authorities didn’t have a description of the second vehicle or other suspects
at large.
