CHICAGO (CBS) -- Two Waukegan men have been charged with burglarizing vehicles in Gurnee and using a stolen credit card at a fast food restaurant.

About 3 a.m. Sunday, a resident in the 1100 block of Summer Circle heard a car with a loud muffler driving slowly through her neighborhood and stopping frequently, according to a statement from Gurnee police.
