They are described as:
- Skinny man, six-feet, four inches tall, with chin-length dreadlocks and a Jamaican accent;
- Skinny man, six-feet, three inches tall, wearing a ski mask and black shirt;
- A six-foot tall man with short hair and a Jamaican accent, wearing a white t-shirt;
- Skinny man, five feet, six inches tall, wearing a ski mask;
- Slim woman, five feet, five inches tall, with shoulder-length hair, wearing a crop top and jean shorts.
