committed by the same suspects. On May 11, 2012, a Criminal Investigative Analyst identified
eleven robbery offenses that may have been committed by the same suspects. Of these offenses, four of them were committed near the Katy Trail. This information was disseminated to officers at the
Central Patrol Division to focus police presence in this area. At approximately 11:25pm on May 12, another robbery offense was committed by suspects matching the descriptions in the previous
offenses. Two more robberies were committed on May 13 which are also related.The suspect information is as follows:
