PHILADELPHIA, PA (Catholic Online) - The team is working the SugarHouse Casino and targeting people who win. When these patrons return home, they are robbed. So far the team is clearly connected to five robberies that have stolen $44,500 in cash. The team is also suspected in another five incidents. 

All but one of the victims has been Asian. The casino has offered the $10,000 reward.

Police say they have video of a suspect who was watching all the victims that have been targeted. They believe the suspect is a spotter who calls a pair of accomplices in the parking lot who then follow the victim home to rob.
