MONROE - Three suspects in the Tuesday burglary of a Monroe business remain at large after five suspects arrested after the incident were released on bond Friday.

Five Illinois men and women were formally charged Thursday with burglary and theft after they were arrested early Tuesday for breaking into and stealing merchandise from a Radio Shack in Monroe.

Tynario Rashard Brown, 21, Aurora, Illinois; Michael Lavell Bush, Jr., 25, Aurora, Illinois; and Kneirah Victoria Johnson, 18, Montgomery, Illinois, were each charged with a Class F felony count of burglary, a Class G felony count of theft and a misdemeanor count of criminal damage to property. Alexis Marylin Beyer, 18, and Diamond Rikki Madison, 21, both of Aurora, Illinois, face the same charges as well as a Class I felony count of fleeing an officer.

According to a police report, the five were arrested after a witness reported suspicious people leaving the Monroe Radio Shack at 301 6th Avenue West and entering two vehicles. Police pursued the vehicles onto Wisconsin 11 and eventually stopped them using spike strips.

Three unknown suspects fled one of the disabled vehicles near the intersection of Wis. 11 and County OK. The Green County Sheriff's Department reported Friday that they had not yet been apprehended.

The five known suspects signed various bonds Friday with conditions that they not leave Kane or DuPage counties in Illinois except to travel to Green County for court purposes. Brown and Bush signed $20,000 cash bonds, Beyer and Madison signed $15,000 cash bonds, and Johnson posted a $2,500 cash bond, with an additional $2,500 signature bond still pending.

The five will appear in court Thursday for their preliminary hearings. The maximum possible sentence for Beyer and Madison is 14 years in prison; the maximum for the other three is 12.5 years.
