Police charged a third man this week in connection with a liquor store burglary.
On March 13, two New Lenox teens were charged with burglary after police said they broke into a local liquor store and stole a case of Icehouse beer.
This week, Henry R. Oram, 18, of the 14000 block of Spencer Road in New Lenox, was also charged with burglary. Deputy Chief Bob Pawlisz of the New Lenox Police Department said that interviews with the first two teens led them to believe Oram was the getaway driver.
In July 2011, Oram was from Noga's Lawn Care in the 900 block of Country Creek Drive.
Earlier, Ryan T. Dominski, 17, of the 700 block of Bentley Road, and David A. Feehery, 18, of the 300 block of Williams Street, were both charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools. Both were given a $2,500 bail and awaited court dates.
Pawlisz said the teens used a crowbar to break in through the rear door at Village Liquor Mart, 1306 N. Cedar Road.
Their entry triggered an alarm at 2:16 a.m. Tuesday, March 13. Police responded but the teens were gone by the time they arrived.
Pawlisz said investigators identified Dominski and Feehery using video surveillance. The teens were taken to Will County Jail that night.

Also, people like this don't care what happens to themselves or their lives but maybe if they see their mom sitting in a jail cell because of what they did, maybe they might think twice about doing it again...maybe.
Maybe it will soon be one of your kids. Then you will no longer be shallow and ignorant. Then we all see if you feel the same way. The entire situation is sad. And so are you!
What about the victims? People work so hard to make an honest living for themselves and their families. They empty savings accounts so they can start a small business or buy a home. All that just so someone can come along and take it away or hurt it. What if the store owner was in the liquor store when these kids decided to rob it and someone got killed? It happens every day. I’m just sick of it! And why aren’t you! Name calling is a perfect example why we as a country are struggling so hard to move forward. You’re so concerned with putting me in my place, because you don’t agree with my opinion and to make yourself feel better, you offer no solution at all…other than feeling sad about the entire situation. (LC)- Your situation is a perfect example of why we need to talk about this as a society. Your situation is not uncommon. But to throw up our hands and say oh well, I did all I can as a parent, go wreak havoc on the world, is not the answer. All I’m saying is we need to try something different. Or we can keep doing the same thing. .
I do agree that parents have a responisbility in teaching their children the difference between right and wrong. And its a shame that this obviously isn't the first time they have broken the law. However, sadly, there are a lot of great parents, who just have bad rebel kids who knowlingly make the wrong decision despite their parents efforts. Peer pressure and low-self esteem can undo all the parents hard work if their children become friends with the wrong people. instead of using the "the strong arm" and "guilt " as part of your parenting method, I suggest parents adding "encouraging self-worth" and "express being proud of them" techniques along with teaching right from wrong. It will do way more wonders for children in the long, by giving them the self-empowerment to stay away from the bad peer pressures out there when their parents aren't around.
If you are saying it's decided at birth and follows a person throughout their life, then surely there will be a way to test for it someday and remove those people from society early in life so that the rest of society can be productive and complimentary. If you are saying it's learned behavior and a result of environmental variables, then there are ways to discourage that behavior from even starting, or change that behavior once it has started. I believe it's learned/environmental. If I've observed anything in my life, it is no 2 people are alike, especially kids. They may not like the same food, same drink, same shows same music, same sports, same downtime activities, and they definitely don't learn the same or respond to the same rewards and punishments. And yes, rewards for good behavior are just as important as punishment for bad behavior.
You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.... lol...... As far as one of the kids, he has NO RECORD and was active in the New Lenox Food Pantry and the Day Break Homeless shelter working and providing breakfast for the homeless people. Kids make mistakes.. You obviously do NOT have kids, especially teenagers..... Who are you to judge. I think that's up to God! Judgement by you will send YOU TO HELL!!!!
Was this a stupid mistake?? Absolutely. However, the parents are not at fault for what the current teenagers are doing. YES........ it IS the last time you will see atleast one of the two........... He is my son! I brought him up with values and always made him aware of what is right and what is wrong. So, as fara as I'm concerned.... you have NO CLUE! Paying someone to buy you beer is illegal as well you idiot!
