Trespasser Looking for Owed Money

A Downers Grove man was arrested at about 1:15 p.m. June 7 after he told Elmhurst police he went inside a home on the 700 block of York Road because a friend of his used to live there, owed him money and he went there to get it back.

Allan Schroeder, 52, of 1122 Gilbert St., was charged with criminal trespass to a residence and released.

A crew working at the house had gone to the hardware store, and when they returned, they noticed Schroeder leaving the house. He rode away on a bicycle carrying a backpack and was followed by one of the workers. Police were notified and arrested the man. Nothing was taken out of the home, police said.
