While forming a perimeter around the Costco in Mettawa, about 40 miles north of Chicago, police received a call that three people were running eastbound across a nearby highway, the sheriff's office said.

Seeing a state Transportation Department truck on the highway, the men dropped the bags they were carrying and fled southbound, according to the statement.

A Gurnee police officer and his canine partner eventually found the men trying to hide behind a concrete wall supporting a highway sign, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office later recovered the bags, containing nearly $20,000 worth of jewelry, it said.

The Lake County State's Attorney's Office approved the criminal charges.
