Police: Alleged Burglar Returns to Scene of the Crime

A 45-year-old Yorkville man remained in Kendall County Jail on Thursday night on allegations that he stole a wallet from a vehicle at a Yorkville area bar.

Russell Stuebinger, 45, of Chestnut Circle, was charged this week with burglary to a motor vehicle, a Class 2 felony, according to a Kendall County Sheriff’s office news release. His bail was set at $25,000, which requires posting 10 percent for release while the case is pending.

A patron reported that a wallet was stolen about 8:40 p.m. July 20 from a vehicle at Suzy’s Bar, 4353 Tuma Road near Yorkville, police said. The victim called police again Tuesday to report that the thief had returned to the bar, police said.

Stuebinger was identified through witnesses and video surveillance, police said.
