Burglary case delays in Grundy County Court
A 17 year old Joliet man Richard Gabrys faces burglary and attempted break in charges for Sereno's Ace Hardware and Walker's Texaco. The hearing was continued for a fourth time as defense seeks suppression of a confession arguing illegal search and seizure.

Police recovered Gabrys identification in the car and Gabrys signed rights waivers and statements at the scene and later at the prosecutor's office.
