The Sticky Bandits were a gang that carried out a £2.6 million crime spree across businesses in the West Midlands, targeting sites during low-risk periods.
Using heavy-duty machinery and filming their own thefts on mobile phones, the gang's audacity was highlighted by their self-chosen name, a nod to the notorious film burglars.
During their trials at Wolverhampton Crown Court, five members received significant prison sentences for their extensive criminal activities over the Christmas period.
The gang's operations, which included stealing metal and other goods, raised concerns over security at businesses in the area, especially during festive breaks.
