South Bend and Mishawaka have seen a rash of robberies the last week.

Some suspects have been caught, while some remain at large.

Here is what police have dealt with the last week:

It all started Tuesday afternoon, when the Mutual Bank on Ireland Road was robbed.

Hours later, police say the same man robbed a nearby Subway with a shotgun.

Police say he fled the scene in a blue Toyota Camry, and is still on the loose.

The suspect is also wanted in connection with a robbery at a Subway in Mishawaka.

Then the next night, police picked up a man after an attempted armed robbery at the Popeyes in the 2600 block of Lincolmway West in South Bend.

Police say a masked man entered the restaurant with a gun and demanded money.

The man then took off through a nearby neighborhood.

Then later that night there was another attempted robbery, this time at the Subway on South Bend Avenue and Terrace Lane.

Police say two men entered the restaurant with hoods covering their faces.

They were arrested by St. Joseph County Police, and face preliminary charges of attempted robbery.

Thursday afternoon the CVS on North Ironwood in Mishawaka was robbed.

Police say this man pulled a gun on a pharmacist and demanded OxyContin.

That man is still at large.

And finally, a man robs the Speedway on Mishawaka Ave.

Police say a man walked into the Speedway in the 1400 block of Mishawaka Avenue with a gun around 10pm Saturday night.

The only information police have right now is that he is a white male.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, call Mishawaka police at 258-1678.

And if you have any information about the other crimes in the area you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 288-stop.

Hi Chaz. I could go into a long discussion about how "assault weapons" are used in a statistically negligible amount of crimes, or how they differ from "hunting weapons" in looks alone, but I'm short on time. I'll just take this opportunity to bet you a beer that we'll see the most oppressively restrictive gun control legislation ever, under the new administration. The President-elect DOES INDEED want to take away our guns, contrary to the spin he wanted us to believe during the election.

I don't understand what you guys are talking about. Obama has no plans to take away anyone's guns. The only thing he's talked about doing is banning assault weapons. How is that relevant to any of the guns you own, carry, or rely on for self defense? Put on your tinfoil hats though if you want to.

With all the robberies in the city I hope the Mayor will find some other budget cuts beside the police department.But I think it will only get worse as the economy falters.

Anonymous really showed us he wasn't ignorant by his spelling!! Lets not be angry!! Someone takes from the rich and keeps it for themselves!! Isn't this what Obama's plan is with a little more order and distribution!!!! People are just doing what will soon be done by the government because 53% wanted it this way!! Quit crying you have the right to bear arms till the Obama crew takes it away!! Remember an Officer Serves and Protects!! You have the right to protect for right now.

Shame on both of you. Offer some constructive help instead of wasting our time and yours. The good people of South Bend need to stop being afraid of retribution and stand up for what is right. Tell what you know. City officials need to offer an incentive, especially now when no one is working.

To Anonymous. Obviously you have nothing better to do than sit at your computer (probably someone elses) with your finger up your nose and open your little mouth with stupid things on the Negative side to say and think that someone actually cares what little you have to say. Shut up and crawl back under a rock. I said "A" rock as you probably don't even have one to call your own. You sound low enough to sit on (someone elses dime) and swing your little feet ! Loser !
