Guangdong police busted the burglary gang of minors, and the youngest was only 12 years old.
The gang of minors "climbing the window" finally gave up because the safe was too heavy. Yesterday, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau reported that in the "Hurricane No.4" series of special actions to crack down on "theft, robbery and fraud", a professional criminal gang of burglary was detected, and 72 suspects who committed burglary in 14 cities in 7 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities were arrested, and 107 cases were solved. Surprisingly, a quarter of this professional criminal gang are minors. They dress up as children in school uniforms, jump around, follow the owners into high-end residential areas, and commit burglary by climbing. The youngest gang members are only 12 years old, among which left-behind children account for a relatively high proportion.

The property is too heavy. The thief gets it and throws it away.
In order to hide people’s eyes and ears and facilitate entry, the theft gang actually recruited minors. Recently, Guangzhou police closed the net at the same time in Conghua Jiekou Street and Baiyun Yongtai Town, and successfully destroyed an Anglo-German geopolitical theft gang with close organization and clear division of labor, arrested 7 criminal suspects, cracked more than 30 cases of theft, and seized a large number of stolen goods and tools involved.
On January 22, 2016, the victim, Mr. Jia, reported that his home was burglarized, and a safe with over 10 million huge debts and a large amount of cash and property was moved away! In addition, cash jewelry and mobile phones scattered at home have also been stolen!
After on-site investigation, the police found the stolen safe in the stairwell on the third floor of the crime scene, and the property in the safe was intact. By accessing the video surveillance of the crime scene and surrounding areas, the police investigating the case locked two suspects and found that the suspects took a taxi to Baiyun District, Guangzhou after the theft.
On March 3, the police investigating the case learned that the suspect sneaked into Conghua jurisdiction again by bus and tried to commit a crime. At about 17 o’clock, the bus that the suspect took was successfully stopped at the original Conghua Customs exit section of S355 line of National Highway 105, and Hua Mou (male, 24 years old, Qingyuan Yingde nationality), Zhu Mou (male, 22 years old, Qingyuan Yingde nationality) and Wu Mou (male, 12 years old, Qingyuan Yingde nationality) were arrested in one fell swoop.
Covering people’s eyes and ears, the child followed the owner into the community
According to the suspect’s confession, an Anglo-German burglary gang with tight structure and clear division of labor surfaced. This is an Anglo-German geopolitical theft gang headed by Liu (male, 24 years old, Qingyuan nationality), who lives in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, and commits crimes in various districts of Guangzhou. Its modus operandi is skillful, its division of labor is clear, and its professional and professional characteristics are obvious.
The gang consists of several groups. When committing crimes, most of them are an adult and a minor. Adults cover the wind, children follow the owners into the community, and burglary is carried out by climbing and cutting the security net.
It is reported that the gang is controlled by adults behind the scenes, most of whom are minors under the age of 14. By taking them to eat, drink and gamble, they are forced to commit crimes on the grounds that children owe money, and the youngest is only 12 years old. "They can blend into the community as easily as children, and it is easier to climb."
They mainly target at some high-end residential areas. Most of them take advantage of people’s going out for dinner and walking at around 8: 00 in the evening, cut off the burglar net and burglary by climbing windows or water pipes, steal a house for half an hour, and usually flee the scene before 10: 00.
Because they are minors, the punishment is lighter, and many people continue to work after they come out. It is reported that the gang has a lot of criminal records, some of which have been stolen from minors to adulthood.
After grasping the clues, the police arrested the rest of the gang members on March 4.
Boss "step on the spot" children commit crimes
It is understood that their crime targets are basically high-end residential areas. First of all, by dressing up, wearing school uniforms, choosing some small people and skipping along with the owners into the community, the security guards generally do not ask questions.
After entering the community, they will choose some buildings without anti-theft nets as their targets and climb into the house to steal. For the buildings on the ground floor, they will climb the sewers and gas pipes. For the high-rise buildings, they will go up to the roof and "hang the golden hook upside down" and use some platforms to climb down from the roof.
They usually choose to have no lights in the house at night, or knock on the door first. If someone comes out, it is called the wrong number. For those who install the anti-theft net, they will also cut the anti-theft net to steal. After entering the house, give priority to small pieces of cash and jewelry, and don’t take big ones. The time of committing the crime was chosen at 7: 00 or 8: 00 in the evening, while the owner went out for dinner and a walk.
For the stolen property, the boss of the gang has the right to control it. When going to other places to commit crimes, the boss usually goes to "step on the spot" first, and then brings the children to commit crimes. Even if he is caught, the boss will not appear at the scene.
It is understood that Qingyuan Yingde climbing burglary criminal group was listed as one of the first seven local professional criminal groups in China by the Ministry of Public Security. The Criminal Investigation Bureau of Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau analyzed and judged the cases involving the British and German burglary criminal gangs in Qingyuan, and found that 20 suspects, including Zhang Moulong, were suspected of being separated and combined in Qingcheng District, Fogang County, Liannan County, Guangzhou, Foshan, Shaoguan and other cities in Qingyuan City since the end of last year, committing crimes of burglary more than 30 times, with the project code "4.07".
On the evening of April 19th, Guangdong police launched a centralized arrest and inventory operation against the suspects of the "4.07" project, as well as the online fugitives of burglary cases in Britain and Germany. A total of 72 suspects were arrested in 14 cities in 7 provinces, autonomous regions, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi, including 20 online fugitives, 11 series of cases were solved and 107 cases were solved, and illegal money was seized.
How was the "hourly migration" born?
According to the police investigating the case, the minor burglary gangs mainly come from Qingyuan Yingde, with the relationship between fellow villagers and relatives as the link. Generally, three or five people are a gang, taking the old and bringing the new, and committing burglary.
For example, the master is generally a slightly older member, about 16 or 17 years old, with a criminal record of burglary. When committing a crime, he is generally only responsible for lookout or remote command, while the specific members who commit the crime are younger, generally only 13 or 14 years old, and the youngest is only 12 years old.
The proportion of left-behind children in these gangs is relatively high. In the Yingde mountain area of Qingyuan, many parents go out to work in the Pearl River Delta, and only grandparents take care of their children at home. Some 16-and 17-year-old young people in bad society will go to some left-behind children in the same village who are not good at learning, take them to eat and drink at ordinary times, make these children feel very dignified, and slowly teach them how to steal and take them out to commit crimes.
