North Riverside police snare 4 for burglary Armed suspects reportedly sought cash and drugs By BOB UPHUES Editor

Four men apprehended by police following a report of a possible home invasion in North Riverside on Feb. 17 all have been charged with one count each of residential burglary and are being held at Cook County Jail awaiting a Feb. 22 court hearing. Bond for each suspect -- identified as Sterling A. Boston, 24; Delance Wilson, 27; Adrian Murphy, 33; and Jeremiah Murphy, 25, all Chicago residents -- was set at $100,000 at a hearing in Chicago on Sunday. Jeremiah Murphy was also charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. North Riverside Deputy Police Chief Deborah Garcia said investigators believe the four suspects went to the Northgate Avenue home to burglarize it. “They thought there would be large amounts of cash and drugs in the house,” Garcia said. Police from North Riverside, Berwyn, Forest Park, Riverside, Broadview, Brookfield Zoo and the Cook County Sheriff descended on the area at about 8:50 a.m. on Feb. 17 after a resident of the 2200 block of Northgate Avenue reported a burglary in progress. A resident of the home told police he was asleep at the time and was awakened by a loud noise and “a lot of commotion.” The man said he jumped from his bedroom See BURGLARY on page 11
