A gang of teenagers, mostly girls from 12 to 16 years old, have carried out 1,500 break-ins in cities in the southern part of France in the past six months, the French police said.

After they had stolen all valuable things from their houses, they were taken to the camp in which they were located near Avignon. Serbian boss had "two lieutenants" in the camp, and if the girls returned without the loot, they would be punished.
- The burglars would first ring the door, and if no one opened they would break in and they would steal anything of value - the police announced, adding that the crimes were committed last year in the cities from Perpignan to Cannes.
The largest amount of robberies was conducted in the department Gar, located in the city of Nimes.
