“Several items suspected of theft were seized from the suspects’ residences.
“The investigation continues as the police anticipate uncovering possibly more evidence to build a strong case that can be upheld in court. The investigation could also help establish whether the suspects may have committed previous similar crimes in which victims were drugged and robbed.” .
