The notorious hoodlums are said to be terrorizing the Alimosho area of Lagos State.
According to Naij, the boys have threatened to deal with residents of the area following the arrest of some members of the gang.
It was learnt that the notorious gang members are aged between 14 and 17 and have invaded not less than 15 homes in Isheri-Olofin area of Lagos State.
It was also learnt that the boys, armed with various dangerous weapons, raided many houses in the area between 12am and 3am last Saturday.
Their presence was announced with gunshots which sent shiver down the spine of residents in the area.
The operation which lasted for hours ended with the bandits leaving the area with bags of jewelry, phones, cash, DVD players and that those who resisted them were given machete cuts which sent them spinning on the ground.
Not less than five landlords sustained injuries and were drafted to General Hospital, Igando for treatment.
The boys were said to have taken to their heels when confronted by angry residents
Luck, however, ran against the boys as one of their members was arrested and led the police to arrest three others. Their threat comes after some of their members were arrested.
The arrest followed the swift response of the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Idimu Police Station, Solomon Adebayto Fayomi.
It was learnt that for the timely intervention of the police, the criminals would have been lynched by angry residents.
