Police in Dixon think they've solved a number of robberies across the state.
Officers arrested three Kankakee men after an armed robbery at a U.S. Cellular store.

Taken into custody were 23-year old David Kendrick, 20-year old Eddie Clark, and 24-year old Michael Lane-Calhoun. All 3 have been charged with armed robbery, aggravated robbery, and unlawful restraint.
Police say that the 3 men are suspects in other robberies across northern Illinois.
In each of the hold-ups, a handgun was used and the employees were tied up. Money and merchandise were stolen from the businesses.
