Surveillance photos show the suspects who police said are jumping out of cars with handguns and rifles and running up to victims demanding their property.
In many cases, the victim is then pistol-whipped or beaten after handing over what they had.
Police say the suspects are all between 18 and 25 years old and have worn dark clothing and ski masks in each robbery.
