During interrogation, they revealed that on Monday, April 21, 2014 they attacked a lady by name Motcheut Amo epse Djoumessi, by cutting off her earrings. Later on Thursday, April 24, 2014, it was the turn of a Chinese lady, Weng Mu Fang, from whom they seized a necklace, amongst others.

According to police sources, the gang members hang around shops or along the streets, awaiting potential victims from whom they rob jewelry for resale.
