PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria Police have arrested two juveniles that were hiding out in Peoria after burglarizing a store in Galesburg in January.
Both juveniles, aged 15 and 17, had First Degree Murder warrants issued out of Knox County.

PPD SID officers saw a group of individuals in the 1800 block of S. Griswold, in which they recognized one of the individuals as the wanted 17-year-old.
