Three of those robberies happened in less than an hour on Saturday between 8:50 p.m. and 9:40 p.m.
Police say four suspects were involved in the robberies and at least one showed a gun in the crimes. They say these incidents happened within a three-mile radius
Constable Wayne Thompson says Fort Bend County Precinct 3 is assisting and helping Katy police by adding patrols to the area.
"We highly encourage going in a group, sometimes ladies do it all together. That's a good idea," Thompson said. "Elderly, we don't want you alone, you appear more defenseless. We also see people get tunnel vision and their hands may be full of packages."
