At least one of the victims knew some of the suspects and one of the suspects wanted to retaliate against a victim who had left him "stranded" out of town days earlier, according to police.
The suspects assaulted one victim and stole backpack, cell phones and wallets from all four victims. Additional charges may be coming, Senter said.
