The first robbery happened on January 4th. 29 year old Franklin Foster is accused of using a box cutter to assault two male victims inside the apartment. He then threatened two people the next day to provide him an alibi for the burglary. On January 7th Foster allegedly broke into a second apartment, this time armed with a handgun, and robbed two victims. Police say Foster took the cell phones of the victims of both home invasions so that they could not call police.
