The residents own several payday loan businesses, League City Police Department spokesman Matt Maggiolino told The Daily News of Galveston County. However, there was no money in the residence as usual because of the Labor Day weekend, the newspaper reported. Cellphones and some jewelry were the only items taken, Maggiolinio said.

"Obviously, the robbers had some form of inside information," Maggiolino told the Daily News. "That's why we believe they were targeted."
