In order to combat these serious crimes, numerous officers were
moved from other PSAs in order to increase coverage and visibility
in the areas that experienced the robberies. Most of the robberies
appear to involve the same subjects occupying a dark colored pick-up
truck. Anyone observing the occupants of a truck matching this
description acting suspiciously is asked to immediately call 911.*
