COPS action in Arlington Heights

Most people consider Arlington Heights to be a middle class, safe neighborhood. That wasn't the case on September 17th, when an armed and dangerous fugitive managed to escape while being transported to a courtroom. The fugitive is a 39-year old man suspected for bank robbery. He took guns from the escorting officers, switched clothes, hijacked a car at a gunpoint and hid himself in the apartment complex by Algonquin and Goebbert Rd in southwest Arlington Heights. All schools in the area are under lockdown.

This is a developing story. More details soon! You can also check out my twitter feed.
