Several organized crews are responsible for a large percentage of business robberies. At this time, most business robbery crews have been identified and arrested, which should result in a decrease in business robberies. Robbery detectives have utilized resources within the FBI Task Force, U.S. Marshal Service, Intel Unit, Crime Stoppers, and the Crime Analysis Unit to develop leads. Individual robbery numbers are consistent with the previous year, with neither an increase or decrease in incidents. Social media and e-commerce transactions have led to several individual robberies. The Robbery Unit has utilized news media partners, social media, and Neighborhood Police Officers, to remind the community who engage in online sales to remain aware of their surroundings and highly encourage the use of the following City of Fort Worth e-commerce trade site locations.
