Detectives removed ‘evidence’ from senior facility: cops

Four Joliet police detectives “gathered evidence” from Joshua Arms senior facility Thursday morning, police said.

“I can confirm that four Joliet Police Detectives were on scene at Joshua Arms this morning in which they gathered evidence as part of an ongoing investigation,” Joliet Police Department spokesman Dwayne English said in an email Thursday morning.

“That is all I am at liberty to release,” English said.

Police came out to Rowell Avenue senior facility and removed an Apple computer and iPad from a man’s residence, according to a source who asked not to be identified.

Barb Hailey, director of communications and advancement at Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, which owns Joshua Arms, said she cannot discuss the events of Thursday morning.

“We are not in the habit of commenting in the day to day lives of our residents,” Hailey said.

Joshua Arms provides apartment-style units for adults age 62 and older, as well as for disabled adults age 18 and older, according to its website. One of the 18-story facility’s two elevators has been out of service since spring.
