Updated: La Grange Police Cordon Off Building for Home Invasion Investigation

11:45 a.m.

La Grange police are currently investigating a burglary that occurred in an apartment complex at the corner of La Grange Road and 47th Street this morning.

According to a statement from police, the burglary occurred at about 8:30 a.m. today when a nanny was outside the apartment building putting three children into a vehicle.

The woman was approached by three men who asked her to go back into the apartment and showed her a "dark handgun." Inside the apartment, the men told the nanny and the children to remain inside a bathroom and to not come out. The nanny remained in the bathroom for approximately 45 minutes until she was confident the men had left. She then called police at about 9:20 a.m. No one was injured in the home invasion.

The home was burglarized and police have been searching the area for evidence with the help of a K-9 unit. It is still not known what items have been taken and police are continuing to work with the South Suburban Major Crimes Assistance Team to gather information.

Police believe the suspects were gone from the area well before police were notified.
