Police may know who made threat STREATOR — Police said they have a suspect in the bomb threat that was called in to high school officials three weeks ago, causing evacuation for that day. Authorities would not give details about the investigation and no arrests have been made so far. The threat was called in shortly before lunch Oct. 2. Bomb-sniffing dogs found nothing. Connection eyed in 3 burglaries STREATOR — A connection is being investigated for three burglaries within five days in Streator. The last break-in occurred Tuesday at the Knights of Columbus Hall, where a cleaning crew may have scared away the burglar without taking anything. The others were at Carbo’s Sports Bar and at the Moose Lodge. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at (815) 672-9000.
