Did they get them? Or were they copy cats? I guess only time will tell. However the good news is they caught 3 suspects after robbing a nail shop on Bancroft.
I have compiled a list of all the known and reported victims below. As you can see their may even be two groups because a few days had several robberies and from all that I have read there are different descriptions of the robbers from clothes, to height to number of suspects.
