While the gang claims to recruit for the military, they are actually trafficking the victims for financial profit—selling them directly to a former township deputy director, Tun Lin Aung.
On the evening of May 12, horrified residents witnessed the gang detaining and brutally assaulting two youths near the station.
According to locals, the network has expanded into recruiting collaborators from various wards, and is even targeting young women from local KTVs.

Despite the junta’s public claims of cracking down on human trafficking, residents point out that the military is covertly protecting the gang. The ringleader, Myo Tun, openly boasts about his close ties to the junta's regional prime minister.
With the gang operating with absolute impunity, families in Pathein are now living in constant fear for the safety of their children.
