Police tie Sharon Delgado to more than 16 break-ins.

The Glencoe Public Safety Department implicated a Chicago woman in a string of auto burglaries that hit 16 cars in Glencoe this winter and several others across the North Shore including Deerfield. 

Sharon Delgado, 21, of Chicago was arrested at her home on the 1800 block of North California Avenue on Wednesday. She was charged with three felony counts of burglary to motor vehicle.

The burglaries occurred between Jan. 28 and Feb. 15. Delgado was first arrested in Riverwoods after police said one of her accomplices was caught driving a stolen Cadillac.

According to Glencoe Deputy Chief Al Kebby, Deerfield Police spotted the stolen car and chased the vehicle before it was driven off the road. Delgado had been inside a second car behind the stolen vehicle. Deerfield Police and Glencoe detectives later tied Delgado and her companions to a slew of auto burglaries in Highland Park, Riverwoods, Deerfield and Glencoe. Kebby said many of the stolen items were recovered in the possession of Delgado and her accomplices.

Delgado had been initially charged in Lake County before charges were handed down Wednesday in Glencoe. Her Cook County court date is set for March 8.
