Maybe we should refer to all the robbers as scumbags, no matter what they look like or where they come from

Agree Chris only a little bit stronger with the language.

In the 90's, before Romania had joined the EU, there were Romanian (really Romanian, not just Romany) pick pocketing gangs, flying over and working the busy markets in England, on a very regular basis. I don't ever recall Bulgarian, Hungarian, or any other Eastern European nation, sending their extremely skilled pickpockets over to rob pensioners on Bury market, but they may have done.

They certainly did here. The one that almost got me was Lithuanian (or so the reg on the car said). Many newspaper reports state "of Lithuanian/Latvian/Bulgarian" origin etc. The Brits appear to be the ones running the drug gangs.
As Chrisdee says, scumbags the lot of them.
