A bike ride up the North Branch Trail, runs right by Old Orchard Road where the courthouse is located.

Beware of the usual restriction of what you can carry inside the building, but do wear a helmet and look like a bike rider supporting the prosecution.

It is with great joy that I have to report that the Wilmette Police arrested Kenneth Robertson again yesterday, January 11th, and charged him with felony bike theft. His prior bond was revoked, and his current bond was set at $75,000. This should be "game over." The press release is below.

Gilberto Torres has remained in custody since his arrest in June. The new alleged accomplice, Anthony Catena, has apparently not made bail, and is in custody. Can't find Robertson in the system, so he may have posted bail today.

I thought Robertson's bail was revolved on the previous charge? Wouldnt that make him not eligible to be released?

This seemed to be changing and getting more detailed as I was just searching, so the info may be VERY recent:

And not to forget:

I think all 3 are somewhere here:

Catena & Torres in Division II, Roberson listed as "HLD" (holding cell waiting for permanent cell?)

Three ugly mugs:

Robertson

Catena

Torres

My guess is not much, and I would be surprised if Kenny's making the trip for each of them. I still think his defense attorney is probably waiting long enough to be able to plead him to "time served" on a sentencing offer from the State's Attorney Office. I would defer to any criminal defense attorney who might be able to provide some guidance on how long setting a trial date can be continued. Over a year in 26th & California seems like a pretty long time to be held in what is essentially a "short term facility."
