Sheriff’s deputies arrested three suspects, including two juveniles, after they were found in a stolen vehicle that was speeding over 90 mph through North Chicago early Friday morning.

A Lake County sheriff’s sergeant was on patrol around 2:30 a.m. Friday in the area of Route 41 and Casimir Pulaski Drive in North Chicago.

Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said the sergeant clocked a northbound Hyundai Sonata traveling at 93 mph in a 55 mph zone.

The sergeant was able to catch up to the speeding car and initiated a traffic stop.

When the sergeant approached the car, he noticed a passenger side window was shattered and the steering column was damaged.

A further investigation showed the vehicle had been stolen moments earlier from an apartment complex in the 500 block of Lakehurst Road in Waukegan, Covelli said.

Sheriffโ€™s deputies arrested and transported the driver, a 16-year-old Waukegan boy, to the Lake County Sheriffโ€™s Office Criminal Investigations Division.

Two passengers, a 20-year-old Chicago man and a 17-year-old Waukegan boy, were also in the car and taken into custody.

The 16-year-old was referred on charges of unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle, possession of burglary tools, reckless driving, curfew violation, speeding, driving without a license and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.

The 20-year-old, identified as Junior A. Gomes-Mejia, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a child, criminal trespass to motor vehicle and theft.

The theft charge was for a cell phone he had in his possession, which was stolen from a residence in Waukegan, Covelli said.

The 17-year-old was referred on charges of obstructing identification and criminal trespass to motor vehicle.

Gomes-Mejia is expected to appear in First Appearance Court on Friday.
