BARRINGTON, Ill. - A man from the northwest suburbs is facing multiple felony charges after Lake County authorities say they recovered dozens of stolen LG appliances and suspected homemade explosives from his home.

What we know:

Lake County Sheriff's detectives launched an investigation after learning that a man in unincorporated Barrington was selling unusually low-priced, brand-new LG appliances on social media.

Posing as buyers, detectives conducted an undercover purchase of an LG oven from 36-year-old Jeffery L. Hendon Jr. The oven's serial number matched one of several appliances reported stolen in a February cargo theft at a distribution center in Lockport.

Detectives secured a search warrant and raided Hendon's home Thursday, where they found 71 stolen ovens and dryers.
