The sheriff said multiple law enforcement agencies were investigating the string of crimes, believed to be carried out by individuals from “well outside of Michigan.” The robberies appear to be targeted and not random, Bouchard said.

In the meantime, Oakland County residents are being asked to be more aware of their surroundings, and to reach out to authorities if they notice something suspicious. Bouchard indicated that law enforcement had increased patrols in certain areas due to the burglaries.

No other details were provided as of Wednesday morning.
