In May 2017, police released 24 names and photographs of the Old Town Youth Gang members.
Their identities were released after they were profiled and linked to a series of daring robberies and cases of stabbing, especially in Old Town.
According to detectives, the group targets women, children and security agencies and kills at the slightest provocation.
