An armed-and-dangerous suspect in a string of vehicle thefts was captured Sunday near Minonk, after eluding authorities for several days.
Multiple law enforcement agencies in McLean and Woodford counties were looking for Todd Kelly Jr., 36, of Gridley. He and his girlfriend, Alyssa J. Thrasher, 21, were suspects in numerous open investigations involving a string of motor vehicle thefts within the last week, McLean County prosecutors said Saturday.
They were spotted Thursday in Bloomington and rural Danvers, in a vehicle stolen in Peoria. Thrasher was arrested Friday, when police swarmed a hotel in LeRoy. Kelly eluded capture, and authorities warned people not to approach him.
Further details were not available.
On Thursday, prosecutors said, a Bloomington police officer in an unmarked police vehicle located a Subaru reported stolen from Peoria. The vehicle was parked in the 1200 block of Zeta Street.

âWhen the officer drove past the vehicle, he saw defendant Alyssa Thrasher seated in the front passenger seat of the running vehicle,â prosecutors said in court documents. âA male approached the vehicle and he wore a facemask and the hood of his hooded jacket was worn over his head. The male drove the vehicle occupied by Thrasher past the stationary officer and the officer identified the male driver as defendant Todd Kelly.â
