Sentenced to 11 years in prison! Why did the gang defy the law with 70,000 yuan?
According to the confession of the defendant Zhu Moupeng, almost all of the three of them committed crimes in the early hours of the morning, and when they drove in the main urban area, they found that there were bicycles concentrated and there were no people around, so they immediately moved them to the trucks and unlocked them, and basically stole 20-30 vehicles every day. From August to October 2022, Huang Mouqiang led Zhu Moupeng and Wu Moupeng to commit theft in Harbin with a daily reward of 300 yuan. More than 760 stolen bicycles were given by Huang Mouqiang** to Shandong Yuncheng New Future Renewable Resources*** hereinafter referred to as "Shandong New Future") person in charge of Deng Mouao.

But even so, Huang Mouqiang believes that most of the bicycles sold to Deng Mouao in Shandong New Future are in good condition, but Deng Mouao still buys them at low prices for scrap iron and scrap aluminum.
In fact, judging from the defendant Deng Mouao's confession, when he was illegally traded and sold for the first time, he had already discovered that the vehicle had no positioning lock and no formal procedures, and that the vehicle was known or stolen. But also because he didn't think deeply about the serious consequences and thought that only car thieves were responsible, Deng Mouao continued to do illegal business with Huang Mouqiang and others.
