The suspect’s actions matched the “Felony Lang Gang”, a group that focuses on sports tournaments on the final day, aware that travel teams have checked out of hotels and their cars are loaded with valuables, Troy police said.

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

Police have not named a suspect.
