In terms of their mode of action, the defendants “knocked” mainly in the morning or midday hours after first identifying their potential victims at the moment they were returning to their homes. They chose elderly people who misled and pretended to be electricity company employees and convinced them to allow them into their homes. After entering the apartments of the elderly, they artificially removed sums of money and valuables from inside them.

In fact, in order to maximize their loot, they persuaded the elderly to wrap sums of money and jewelry in aluminum foil, in order to “protect” them from the upcoming work, and then removed them.
