Policeman is not there.

That's not the way I did it but I'm sure there's many possibilities. They look really weird at the end when they lift their arms up, and what's up with the 5 year old robber?

cop and prisoner, cop, cop + girl1, cop +prisoner, mum+ girl2, mum, mum+ dad, dad, cop + prisoner, mum, mum + dad, dad, dad + boy1, cop & prisoner, cop + boy2, cop, cop + prisoner

that was how I did it, you could probably reverse it with the dad and mum and get the same results.

Whats with the wavy hands thingy?
