SCHAUMBURG (AP) — An Illinois man is suing the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg and two former policemen, alleging the ex-officers illegally searched his property and stole more than $2,000 from his grandmother's home.

The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports (http://bit.ly/12usmB0 ) that Kelley Altom is seeking undisclosed damages in a federal lawsuit stemming from his 2011 arrest.

Altom had faced drug charges, but a judge ruled officers did not have probable cause to make the search and the charges were dropped.
