One of the teenagers had since been released as she could not be linked to the crime.
A few days later, three adults, aged 36, were arrested on February 28, and this was followed by the arrest of another teenager on Friday, March 1.
The last suspect, a 13-year-old boy, was arrested on March 8, 2019.
