Generally speaking, robbers and gangsters should be two completely different professions.
Robbers are usually more professional and their crimes are more serious. Very few robbers wander the streets all day like gangsters.
They seldom commit any other crimes besides robbery and even avoid appearing in public too much.
However, in Dawn City, these robbers were a little brazen.
They were usually a group of hooligans, and once they found a suitable target, they began to rob.
They were not afraid of being identified by the victim, and even being caught by the police on the spot was not a big deal.
The authorities basically would not seriously deal with this kind of robbery that involved a small amount of money, and they did not even bother to detain them.
Many police officers arrested thieves and criminals in front of foreign tourists, but they let them go as soon as they turned around.
