CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Hinsdale Police Department ended its search for a suspect wanted for an armed robbery of a Verizon store on Thursday in Addison. 

One suspect was in custody, but another remained at large. Diamonte Walls of Chicago has been charged with armed robbery and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He is being held without bond, according to the DuPage County state's attorney. 

"Despite an extensive search, one suspect is believed to have escaped the containment area," Hinsdale Police said in a statement posted on Facebook. 

Video from Chopper 2 showed about a dozen officers with police dogs searching the area around the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) and Ogden at 2:30 p.m. 

The robbery happened around 1 p.m. near 1600 West Lake Street in Addison. The suspects' vehicle was located in a neighborhood near Ogden and I-294, where one person was arrested. 

The ramp to I-294/Indiana was closed for the investigation. 

Authorities said Walls was found in a backyard in Hinsdale during the search. Authorities found a black garbage bag containing thirty iPhones, two Galaxy phones, four iPads, and an Apple Watch worth $37,000 in the same yard.
