**CORRECTION**

Please see the below correction regarding the investigative update which was released on October 7. The surveillance images which were provided were from the armed robbery that occurred at the Ramada Inn in Triangle, not the Quality Inn as previously stated. Both robberies occurred during the early hours of September 27 and the same suspects are believed to be responsible for both incidents. Additional footage is expected to be released in the coming week. We apologize for the error. Further information regarding the Ramada Inn robbery investigation is provided below.
