So far 15 people have been arrested and charged with offenses like wire fraud and theft during the operation dubbed "Operation Triple P".A data investigation found that some inmates at the Will County Jail were applying for and receiving Paycheck Protection Program loans, and then using the money to bond out of jail on their felony cases.

So we did several periodic spot checks on the residence," said Detective James Kilgore, of the Joliet Police Department. "It just looked like a residence. There was no actual business there. We also checked with the City of Joliet for any type of business license for that address or anybody in that family, which also was negative results."DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
