Law enforcement around the region is investigating an organized crew of men and women who have been using a method of distraction and deception to rob people.
“Evidence suggests the suspects surveil the victims before they are approached and then offer electronics or other jewelry to distract and confuse the victims,” EPD stated.
According to police, suspects are often described as having dark skin or being of Romani or Middle Eastern descent.
EPD urged people to call 911 if they see anything suspicious and to educate family members to be aware of their surroundings. The department also said people should call 911 if they or a family member has been a victim of that type of robbery.
