The suspect’s actions were consistent with those of the Felony Lang Gang, a group that focuses on the final day of sports tournaments and knows that the traveling teams have checked out of hotels and their cars are loaded with valuables, Troy police said.

However, police said there appeared to be no connection between this group and the thefts in Troy.

Police have not named a suspect.
