DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - The Dallas FBI is looking for a group of men dubbed the "cookie bandits".
The FBI's violent crimes task force says the suspects are responsible for robbing as many as 30 businesses across several
North Texas cities since October 2014.
"In addition to going after money and cigarettes they are also requesting cookies and snacks" says Dallas FBI agent Katy Chaumont.
The robberies have occured in Dallas, Garland, Mesquite and Seagoville. The most recent one was yesterday.
According to the FBI, the suspects run into businesses through the front doors, leap over the cashier's counter and make their demands.
Officials say the men are armed, but so far, nobody has been hurt.
