A ruthless teenage gang stole £4million worth of high-value vehicles in a sickening 10-month crime wave.
The thieves - aged between 15 and 20 - stole cars from outside people's homes across Greater Manchester as they slept. Some of the vehicles they snatched were parked outside Manchester Airport, a court heard.
They used a device to steal keyless Range Rovers, Land Rovers and Jaguars and then posted their crimes on Snapchat. In one night, they stole four cars from the same house.

A further victim missed seeing her dad before he died as she was busy organising insurance in the aftermath of the theft of her car. Another family moved home after the burglary.
At Manchester Crown Court this week, seven members of the Organised Crime Group behind the thefts were sentenced for 299 separate charges. The court heard how they began their endeavour in 2021, with the thefts stretching across Greater Manchester and into Cheshire.
The stolen vehicles would be disposed of 'by various means', police said, with the gang using cloned plates and 'chop shops' to strip down vehicles. In court, Maliq Hutchinson-Khan, Niall Ritchie, Taylor Burns and Callum Parkes were all sentenced for their part in the thefts.
Two 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were also sentenced.
