Rolling Meadows Review, IL....2/11/03
A 21-year old LaGrange Park man was arrested Monday evening in
the 2200 block of Forest Avenue after allegedly stealing a police
car in Broadview, and shoplifting more than $150 worth of
merchandise from CVS Pharmacy, 2045 Plum Grove Road.
Rolling Meadows police said Spyros A. Tryeonopoulis took a Ford
Crown Victoria from Broadview police and went to CVS Pharmacy,
where he loaded a basket with such merchandise as pregnancy
tests and antacids, and walked out without paying.
Next, the suspect went to a gas station on Kirchoff Road when
a Rolling Meadows police officer saw him filling the tank of the
stolen police car. Tryeonopoulis ran when the officer asked
him for identification, police said.
Police later captured him on the east side of state Route 53.
He is to appear in court Feb. 28.
