A Beach Park man who forced entry to a gun store and attempted to steal guns from it in Winthrop Harbor has been sentenced to just over 300 days in jail, which is already considered served.
Robert A. Tello, 31, of Beach Park, was charged in October 2023 with burglary, criminal damage to property, possession of burglary tools, two counts of resisting arrest and obstructing identification.
The charges stem from an incident that the Winthrop Harbor Police Department responded to around 12:11 a.m. on October 4, 2023, at The Outdoorsman, 221 Sheridan Road in Winthrop Harbor.
Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Dino Katris said at the time that officers arrived to find Tello exiting the gun store after receiving a 911 call for a report of glass shattered.
