A gang of teenagers committed several dozen robberies right on the street in England. The young people found lonely citizens and, with a knife to their throat, demanded that they give them their phone and access to the crypto wallet, if there was one on the phone. All the robberies were spontaneous and took place in different parts of the country. However, most of the crimes were recorded in the suburbs of London, from which the police concluded that the suspects lived somewhere nearby.
The gang included at least 4 teenagers from 15 to 18 years old. They were all detained a year after the first robbery. Another young man was declared wanted. To date, more than 20 armed robberies are known to have been committed by this group of people. All of them have been declared suspects and are now awaiting trial.
How did it all start?
After an ordinary fight on the street, which is not uncommon in England, the young people took possession of the victim's phone. They demanded the victim's access passwords and transferred all the cryptocurrency to their wallet. And now an ordinary street fight turned into a robbery.
After this incident, the following ones followed. The teenagers provoked other young people to a street fight, after which they took their phones. If the victim put up decent resistance, the teenagers used a knife and, under the pretext of causing serious injuries, took the victim's phone with the passwords to the crypto wallet, if there was one on the phone.
