Javier Granados, 19, was charged with one count of residential burglary in connection with an Oct. 27 burglary in the area of 55th Street and Fairview Avenue.
Granados also has been charged with four more residential burglaries that occurred in Cook County.
Downers Grove Police detectives have been working with the Cook County Major Case Assistance Team which includes detectives from Western Springs, LaGrange, Berwyn, Forest Park and Brookfield Police Departments.
On Oct. 28, Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter issued a crime alert to the residents of Downers Grove after a string of burglaries that occurred in the village.

Porter commended residents for calling the police department upon seeing any suspicious incidents.
