Roseville Police Seek Suspects In String Of Attacks On Pizza Delivery Men

In the second, the very next night, the victim was a 25-year-old Clinton Twp. man delivering for Passport Pizza. In the third incident, shortly after midnight the following Saturday, the victim was a 46-year-old Shelby Twp. man delivering for Paparonis Pizza.
