PEORIA —
Two armed men robbed the Family Video store at 3615 Wisconsin Ave. on Thursday, making the store the second in the chain to be robbed this week.
Police said the men entered the store around 10 p.m., when there were two employees and one customer in the store.
Police said both suspects were black. One was described as about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He held one silver pistol in his hand. The other was about 6 feet tall and weighed 190 pounds. He held a silver pistol in each hand. Witnesses told police the guns looked fake.
The shorter suspect took an undisclosed amount of money from three cash drawers, while the other pointed his weapons at the people in the store.
The robbers then fled out the store and into an alley.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Monday, two masked gunmen robbed the Family Video at 218 W. Harman Highway, across the street from Madison Park Shopping Center.
One ordered two customers and an employee to face a wall of videos, while the second screamed at another employee to empty the cash register of an undisclosed amount of money.
The gunmen then fled in a late 1990s blue Dodge Neon or Plymouth model, police said.
Three days earlier, a man robbed the U.S. Cellular store, 3211 W. Harman Highway, of $400 after threatening the clerk at closing time. No weapon was displayed.
Police said they do not yet know if the cases are connected. No arrests have been made.

PEORIA —
Two more men were charged Friday in connection with a weekend home invasion that left one man with a gunshot wound to the head.
Terrance T. Bassett, 19, of 1100 S. Matthew St. and Anthony D. Taliaferro, 18, of 107 Merriman Court face charges of home invasion and aggravated battery with a firearm. Because a person was shot with a handgun, 15 years were added onto the base range of six to 30 years.
On Thursday, Antonio L. Anderson, 32, of 1822 N. Missouri Ave., the alleged shooter, was charged with the same counts. Bobby L. Short, 30, homeless, was charged with armed robbery and residential burglary. He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors allege Bassett, Anderson and Taliaferro went to the house in the 3200 block of West Starr Street looking for drugs and money. Short had allegedly set up the robbery and is being held legally accountable for the trio’s actions even though he was not apparently involved in the actual crime.
Assistant State’s Attorney Steve Pattelli said Bassett and Taliaferro both confessed to being present during the break-in. Both men were held Friday on $500,000 bond.
Short was previously held on $100,000 bond, while Anderson’s bond was set at $1 million.

PEORIA —
A police officer came upon a man stabbed in the chest Tuesday night in the East Bluff.
The officer on patrol about 9:05 p.m. spotted a man with a bloody shirt walking along the sidewalk in the 1100 block of Frye Avenue. When he approached the victim, the officer realized the man, in his mid-30s, was bleeding from a serious stab wound to the chest, police said.
He was rushed to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, where his condition was not available Tuesday night.
Police officers and detectives crowded around a two-story home in the 1000 block of East Frye Avenue, though officers wouldn’t confirm that was where the stabbing occurred. Initial reports were that a woman had stabbed the man, but officers also wouldn’t confirm those reports, only saying that all parties involved were in custody.
