On Dec. 27, four men approached nine tenants who were waiting in line to pay rent outside a Hendersen-Webb rental office. One of the men was wielding a gun. After demanding and collecting an undisclosed amount of money, the men fled in a mid-size SUV, police said.

The fourth suspect has yet to be arrested.
