Round Lake Beach Police are investigating two burglaries at Raymond Ellis Elementary School.

On both occasions - July 8 and July 30 - a window was damaged early in the morning to force entry into the school at 720 W. Central Park Drive. The thieves stole computers and other electronic items.

"The same things occurred in both burglaries; we believe they are related," Round Lake Beach Deputy Chief Gary Bitler said. "We have no suspects, and it is still under investigation."

Bitler said he wasn't sure about the value of the missing items or the fate of the investigation.

"Who knows?" he said when asked about the likelihood of solving the case. "Every case is different."

Lake County Crime Stoppers has posted a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Contact them at (847) 662-2222.
