The Cicero Police Department has announced the arrest of Montreal Carr, a 30-year-old resident of Chicago, in connection with an Armed Robbery. Carr has also been charged in relation to a separate Armed Robbery case by the Glenview Police Department. On February 18, 2025, at approximately 2:38 PM, Cicero Police responded to a report of an Armed Robbery in the 1800 block of South 49th Avenue. The victim stated that he was approached by two offenders who threw him to the ground, held him at gunpoint, and robbed him of cash, a cell phone, and other personal items. The offenders fled the scene in a blue sedan, which was quickly identified. Following an extensive investigation, Cicero detectives identified Carr as one of the offenders. They also uncovered intelligence linking Carr to another Armed Robbery that occurred in Glenview on April 21, 2025. Cicero and Glenview detectives collaborated in sharing information, which led both agencies to obtain arrest warrants for Carr regarding their respective cases. Detectives later discovered that Carr had fled Illinois to the State of Georgia. Detectives then enlisted the help of the U.S. Marshals Service. Carr was apprehended by U.S. Marshals on June 18, 2025, and then extradited to Illinois on July 29, 2025, by the Cook County Sheriff’s Police Fugitive Apprehension Unit. After a review by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, charges were approved for Armed Robbery with a Firearm related to the Cicero incident. Glenview Police also filed an additional count of Armed Robbery with a Firearm in their case. Cicero Police Superintendent Thomas Boyle noted that, “This arrest exemplifies successful teamwork and investigative collaboration among multiple law enforcement agencies at various levels.” Members of the public are reminded that these charges do not constitute proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial, during which it is the government’s responsibility to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
