- Area Three and Belmont detectives are handling the probe, no arrests or offender descriptions have been released, and investigators are asking witnesses to submit tips.
- Police previously issued an alert in May about a series of downtown robberies that involved stolen phones and possible fraud, but officials have not confirmed a link between that pattern and this June 1 incident.
