In passing the sentence, the magistrate noted that the duo deserved to be locked up as they were a threat to society, adding that a lengthy custodial sentence would send a clear message to would-be offenders.

In one incident, they assaulted a family, tied them up, and ransacked their home, making off with US$1712 and several other valuables.

Their crimes included violence, intimidation, and unlawful possession of firearms.
