A suspect was arrested after a car connected to multiple burglaries in Lake and Cook counties was spotted during a smash-and-grab at a liquor store in Barrington, which was witnessed by police.

The Barrington Police Department was notified about a burglary in progress around 2:30 a.m. Thursday at Garfield’s Beverage Warehouse, 340 West Northwest Highway in Barrington.

Officers from a different jurisdiction were surveilling a vehicle with wanted occupants, according to Barrington Police Chief David Daigle.

The suspects were believed to have been involved in multiple burglaries in several different towns in Lake County and Cook County.

Daigle said the officers following the vehicle advised that the car pulled into Garfield’s Beverage Warehouse and one of the occupants was burglarizing the liquor store.

The suspect forced entry to the store by breaking a front glass window.

Barrington police officers and surveilling units converged on Garfield’s Beverage Warehouse.

The burglary suspect fled on foot from officers and a short pursuit ensued before he was taken into custody, Daigle said.

The vehicle involved, a black BMW X6, fled eastbound on Route 14 at over 100 mph. The vehicle was later recovered in Chicago.

The suspect arrested following the foot pursuit was identified as Jimmy C. Hall, 30, of Chicago. He allegedly committed the burglary and was arrested on his birthday — January 9.

Daigle said Hall was only able to steal a single bottle of tequila, worth over $100, from the store.

Hall was charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools, criminal damage to property and theft.

Hall was later released after being arrested. Court records show he is a convicted felon with a history of gun offenses.

Daigle said it is not believed that any other arrests were made after the car was recovered in Chicago.
