The Gainesville Police Department and Alachua County Sheriff's Office are beginning a joint investigation of three Northwest Gainesville home invasion robberies they believe to be related. In each of the robberies the victims were tied up at gun point and robbed of possessions and their cars. Sergeant Todd Kelly of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office says the suspects are armed and dangerous and now is the time for neighbors to be looking out for each other.
