He also confirmed that their modus operandi was that after snatching cars of their victims, they beat and tie the victims, lock them in the car boot, drive away and dump the suffocating victim into the bush and bolt with the car and other stolen items.

The court also made a consequential order that the convicts pay Ghc66, 000 being the cost of a Toyota Camry they snatched from the complainant and GHc5, 500 being the cost of an Apple beat pill speaker, HP Laptop and one iPhone to the complainant.
