Also I don't know how Raven ties into any of this. Because we only saw that equestrian-esque Grimm attack the town and then more Grimm arrived. No bandits at all. Bandits weren't even mentioned. Also that Grimm thing lives in a cave. Doesn't really look like a bandit hideout. Who knows? It could've been a random attack with Grimm taking advantage of there being no Huntsmen, but at the same time, bandits could've attacked and then left while Ren was asleep.

Or we have a third option, the Grimm actually goes in first and wipes out all defence and then the bandits come in to loot what remains.

Fourth option, their working together or at least in tandem, I mean that THING likes to collect weaponry from the people it kills, and take other momentos as trophies. It could be possible for the creature to be intelligent enough to recognize a common goal when one exists.
