Peoria Police report late Saturday night that they have made arrests in regards to the rash of robberies in North Peoria.

Police described the suspects as a male and two females.

They're believed to be involved in the recent robberies at Walgreens, Krogers, Busey Bank and Dairy Queen.

The robbery at the Wal-Mart on Allen Road remains unsolved.

All the robbery victims were women who were alone in those businesses parking lots.

It doesn't matter what color your skin is...If you break the law you get arrested. The police are doing the job they were hired to do.

Does Peoria have a good end of town? North end is a joke, south end is a joke, center bluff is a joke, east bluff is a joke, rolling acres and vinton highlands are a joke. The only end of town that is safe is the farth Northwest corridor, but that doesnt count because it is basically Dunlap anyway. Forget it people, Peoria is a crime ridden, thug infested, welfare sucking, bottom feeding inner city just like all the rest of the big cities in the nation.

It has less to do with race and more to do with what end of town you live in.

Go to the jail and do a head count!! The numbers don't lie!! We should quit complaining and teach our children better morales. The cops are doing their jobs by arresting those who break the law!! Why blame it on race? If you're house was being burglarized by white or a black guy wouldn't you want their help?

I was at the peoria county jail last week and the white to black ratio was about 10 blacks for every 3 whites I'm in no way a racist as I graduated from peoria central myself. We can blame who we want but the numbers speak for themselves. I bet you'd want the peoria police at your house if it were being burglarized wether it was a black or whit burglar!!

UNBELIEVABLE. A great effort by our Peoria Police turns into a racist conversation. Maybe the black community needs to prove why they are targeted? Everytime I see a vilonet crime happen in the arewa guess what race is involved 95% of the time? Get a clue and stop thinking everyone is against you. The numbers speak for themselves. Kudos to the Peoria Police for making this arrest quick.

its going to exist whether you like it or not. some whites don't like the 'black' lifestyle - I can't disagree too much there. Some blacks hate a white man no matter what. Because he feels he is OWED something from 'the white man'. Sorry there is going to be racism no matter what. How is it okay for black women to have liek 10-20 kids and live on welfare and expect the working class people to pay for them all. There is some whites that do this too but the majority are black.

I think it's funny when racist people complain about racism.

Give praise to God, our community, and the Peoria Police force making these arrests!! If you talk about racism, then most likely you are racist yourself. Make a change.

Anon...It doesnt matter what color the victims are. You should just be thankful to the police that they caught 3 of them. Why does everything have to be a racial thing? Its ridiculous.

Must have been white women that were robbed as to why the string of robberies was actually solved fairly quickly.
