Laurence Cordova Pena, 42, and Jennifer Ann McKiness, 33, both of the 200 block of North 15th Street, were arrested in the 500 block of Randall Road by St. Charles and Elgin police in connection with a series of thefts of liquor over the past two weeks in both cities, police said. They were charged by both St. Charles and Elgin police. In St. Charles, each was charged with one count of felony retail theft. They both were transported to the DuPage County Jail, where they were held pending a court appearance.
A 38-year-old Geneva woman told St. Charles police she saw an eastbound van pull up to the curb on the northbound side of Indiana Avenue near South 7th Street, and two males jump out of the passenger side of the van. The woman told police she thought this was suspicious, and fearing that perhaps the two males intended to grab someone, turned around and went back to the intersection.
