The group of suspects, which include three men, participated in several such explosions including one at North 2nd and Girard Streets in North Liberties.
At the time, FOX 29's Steve Keeley reported a group of three men used two bombs to blast through the machine and smashed the cash box with a sledgehammer.

The third suspect arrested at hotel on 18th Street, according to sources who also say that similar explosives were used and similar tools left behind linked the several blasts to same crew.
