The defendants were found to be eligible for five more such counts of wage theft. At sites where they were working themselves, they grabbed screws, adhesive tape, shower heads, sockets and cables, among other things. In addition, the DNA of one of them could be linked to a series of home burglaries in Oostkamp. The gang is also said to have committed several bicycle thefts, including in Kortrijk and Waregem.
