Burczyc and 24-year-old Worth resident Michael A.

The victims of the burglary left the serial numbers on the stolen items, which were tracked to a pawnshop in Stone Park. That shop’s records showed that Burczyc was the seller.

“That’s not enough to charge that person,” Jenkins said.

It wasn’t until Burczyc resurfaced in the Downers Grove burglary that Clarendon Hills Police had enough. She was charged with one count of felony residential burglary and transported to DuPage County Jail.

According to a press release from the Village of Clarendon Hills Tuesday afternoon, Burczyc and Sauer “are linked to several residential burglaries in a number of communities.”

The stolen property was successfully recovered.
