Auburn police said they have arrested one man and are looking for two other people in connection with a robbery late Monday night near the intersection of Miller and Owasco streets.
Police said three male suspects approached a pair of pedestrians at the scene demanding money around 11:30 p.m. When the victims said they had little or no money, the suspects punched and kicked them, and took a compact disc player from one of them. Neither victim suffered serious injuries.

Police later recovered the CD player in brush near the scene.

The victims fled the scene and were chased by the suspects, police said. One victim was able to get inside a convenience store and police were contacted.

Police located one suspect, Daniel W. Errico, 20, of 89 Elizabeth St., Auburn, behind 19 Genesee St. He was charged with second-degree robbery.

Police are seeking help to find the other two suspects. One is described as a white male, 20 years old, 6 feet all and heavy set with facial acne. He was wearing white-framed sunglasses, long shorts and a white tank top covered by a light-color button-down shirt.

The other suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male, about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build. He has a thin mustache and facial hair.

Police ask that tips be reported to 253-3225 or 255-4703.

" The guy that refered to Orchard St was not talking about the Warsaw ghetto and he was not talking about a group of Jewish people so quit defending racism. "

Ghetto wrote on May 16, 2007 10:33 AM:

" The term "ghetto" -- as in "Warsaw Ghetto," for example, has been used to describe very poor neighborhoods where any given ethnic group has been largely isolated -- it is not a race-specific term. "

" Black, white, hispanic, it doesn't really matter your race if your beat someone for a CD player and money your pathetic. It has nothing to do with your race it has everything to do with your lack of respect, and your little to no morals. Everyone is always so happy to blame problems on certain races, I am pretty sure crimes are committed by every single race. "

" were desperate for some money. I'll bet it was to buy drugs. Find the other two creeps and throw them in the slammer too. Until people start reporting the strange stuff they see anytime of day these types of people will be out there. Day or night. Pay attention to stuff and make the call. "

" It is racism when comments are made to drop a bomb on a black neighborhood or calling that neighborhood a ghetto or using the words they are like that. Many criminals are white also and no one suggests bombing their ghetto neighborhood. Think before you speak and if you can't understand that your statements are racist then you are then you are an ignorant racist. We should be active in decrying crime but it doesn't have to be a racial issue. "

" In cases like this,there should be no rights for the one criminal caught untill he gives up the other 2.He should sit in his jail cell without any human contact or food or water till he talks. "

" IT's not about race. It's about personal responsibility and respect, just like "same old same" wrote. Black, White, either or, makes no difference. A crime is a crime and it shouldn't be pushed either to the forfront or the back due to race. "

" Hey epidemic - Not sure what you're getting at. Two of the three perps were not black and there is no indication from the article that the third was either. I'd say it's time for you to set aside your predjudices. "

" It's not about race, it's about people not caring about people. It's about how parents' are raising their children, some with little morals and little or no respect, and not holding them responsible for their actions.It's about society being lazy and not wanting to work hard to make it in life. If all people would quit playing the "race" card and and start to care about our fellow brothers and sisters most of this would stop, if we would all turn to GOD and follow his commands the world would be a better place.So stop blaming people of different races and take responsibility for our children. "

" The main problem is that we have an epidemic in our society. Look at the news and you will see that many of the people committing crimes are African Americans. It is time for the African American population to step up and say enough. "

" To brew, its not racism, its the truth, if a person chooses not to have respect for themself, they for sure will not have respect for anybody else. I guess people can beat a word to death and use it any time it suits them. "
