The robbers have been dubbed the ‘Bluetooth Bandits’ because one of them had a Bluetooth wireless device in his air during at least two of the hold-ups. Authorities believe they were using the device to communicate with accomplices during the robberies.

The robbers used a variety of disguises to cover their identities during the heists and escaped in different getaway cars.
