The investigation is ongoing, however detectives say the dye-pack in the bag the suspects fled with exploded.  At one point one of the suspects was spotted purchasing bleach and other cleaning materials, which deputies believed was used in an attempt to clean the bills, and possibly the suspects themselves.

Detectives from the OCSO Robbery Unit were able to track down leads, interview witnesses, narrow down suspects, and then eventually write the warrants that led to the suspects’ arrests.
