BERWYN POLICE DEPARTMENT RESPONDS TO PRISONER ESCAPE AT MACNEAL HOSPITAL
(Berwyn, IL) โ The Berwyn Police Department received a notification today regarding an escape of a prisoner in custody from a neighboring town at MacNeal Hospital. The individual managed to flee the hospital while still handcuffed, prompting an immediate response from local law enforcement.
Upon receiving the alert, Berwyn Police Department swiftly deployed multiple officers, supervisors, detectives, and tactical units to the scene. The Berwyn Police Department coordinated efforts with neighboring police agencies and Cook County Sheriffโs Police, utilizing K9 units and drones to aid in the search. Police helicopters from Cook County and Chicago Police Departments were also dispatched to assist in locating the escaped prisoner.
Due to the nature of the escape, an Emergency Notification Message was sent to South Berwyn residents advising at approximately 7:20PM for them to shelter in place until the situation was resolved.
Officers aboard the police helicopter successfully identified a heat source in the 3300 block of Wesley. Following this lead, law enforcement officials apprehended the escaped individual without further incident. At approximately 7:46 PM, an all-clear message was sent out to the community confirming that the prisoner was back in custody and that the situation was resolved.
โWe are grateful for the quick response and collaboration of all law enforcement agencies involved in this operation,โ said Michael Fellows, Acting Chief of the Berwyn Police Department. โOur priority is the safety of our community, and we appreciate the cooperation of residents during this situation.โ
The Berwyn Police Department commends the efforts of all personnel involved and urges the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
