“It was happening every few days, another robbery, another robbery, another robbery, same M.O. — a group of individuals exciting a car with guns, holding people at gun point and robbing them.”“It’s sad, but it’s also unique that they were this violent that they were committing, home invasions, robberies where they were shooting at victims who completely complied with their demands,” he said.One of the videos he provided to News 5 showed a particularly violent incident in Cleveland Heights.
“It was an organized group, who would go out and commit these violent acts,” he said. “It was critical that law enforcement took them off the streets as quickly as possible because their level of violence was increasing.” “Within a week of some of those first meetings and conversations this was really being put together. It is no exaggeration to say that the detectives on these cases were working day and night,” said Ryan Bokoch, the supervisor of the unit.
