Judge Pengiran Masni told the defendants to reflect on their personal lives and families they will be leaving behind while they serve time. The court also hoped that the current punishments will serve as a lesson learnt and repent, and eventually change them for the better when they get released. Prosecutor Ahmad Firdaus bin Mohammad revealed that in alternate involvements; the men had broken into a house at Jalan Lambak Kiri at 1am on November 4, 2021 making away with a flat screen television and a CCTV camera. Police investigations were aided with a CCTV footage leading to their arrests. On April 13, 2021, the men entered a worker’s construction camp at Jalan Kebangsaan Lama at 8.30am, where they stole three mobile phones. A worker saw the men take the phones and shouted for help, but the defendants escaped. A police report however led to their arrests. Some of the men also broke into Institute of Brunei Technical Education (IBTE) Nakhoda Ragam Campus sometime between August and September, 2021 where they ransacked and stole food, a standing fan, a rice cooker and a radio from its kitchen. The men then sold the electrical appliances to a scrap yard. A school staff member filed a police report after discovering several items had gone missing. On October 31, 2021, some of the men stole cables from an unoccupied house at Kampong Peninjau, Jerudong. The owner discovered the theft when he visited the site and handed a CCTV footage to aid the police in their investigations. Meanwhile, two of the defendants broke into the Waste Composting Centre, the Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation (JASTRe) sometime on June 29 and 30, 2021, where they stole a blower and two grass cutter machines from a storage building. A staff member lodged a police report on realising the theft. The same duo struck a house at Jalan Pasir Berakas at night sometime between October 9 and 10, 2021 where they stole personal documents and other belongings. The owner realised his property had gone missing and reported the theft to the police. Four out of the seven defendants broke into an empty house at Jalan Mejawa, Kampong Jerudong sometime between October 21 and 22, 2021. They made away with cash, a television, a karaoke set, a DVD player and a safe box containing jewellery.

One of the defendants, assisted by other unidentified persons, damaged and stole battery cells and earthing cables from a power station building at Bukit Shahbandar on September 24, 2021. The incident caused a major disruption to UNN, breaching BND150,000 in damages.
