Default Collusion At The Casino?

Last night I made the trek to the casino for a bit of 3/6 goofiness. For the first 45 minutes had a guy to my right who really truly overplayed pocket pairs so I figured just for a regular LAG and didnt give his bets much... weight.

Shortly after, new guy sits down to his right and they both decide to go for dinner (obviously friends). Back 30 minutes later the table started to change from Loose-Passive to Loose-Aggressive on the real-quick. 6 way capped pots and all because of something these guys were doing.

Question is, did I catch a couple of idiots or a few guys teaming at 3/6. I'm 99% sure they were playing together -- and doing well at that.

Guy #1 is in seat 5. Guy #2 is in seat 6.

Couple limpers to seat 5, he limps. Seat 6 raises, all limpers call (this is 3/6 after all) and Seat 5 re-raises. 6 then caps it and the entire table calls.

Now, normally a limp-reraise doesnt get my attention but these guys did this at least 10 times in the span of an hour and a half. After the flop they would run it one more time depending on how they liked their hands and if they wanted people out.

Seat 5 actually caught his 3-bet hands once in a while though. He showed down 72o, 92o, and 83o all limp re-raised pre-flop in this manner.

Now, i've heard of people running teams to blow people out or pump the pots, but 3/6? New to me. I had a chat with the floor after about the 8th time they pulled this and with the floor hovering they tightened up a bit but still snuck one in when the floor walked away (yes, surveillance means having the floor hover over the table at this casino it seems :P)

Any other tips on how to catch a cheater at the B&M? And better yet, what to do about it?
