Alleged Chinese gang record their crime spree through Brisbane

A Chinese gang filmed themselves breaking into businesses, stealing cash and vandalising cars in an Easter weekend crime spree across Brisbane.
A Queensland University student, identified only as David, was arrested after posting several videos and photos of the alleged crimes to Facebook and charged with willful damage.
The videos allegedly showed the 21-year-old and at least two other men driving around Brisbane committing burglary and vandalism.
It showed men breaking into businesses and apartments, stealing money from cash registers, spray-painting cars with graffiti, and even using a cigarette lighter to rig a car tyre to explode while driving.
One clip even showed two masked men running out of a building into an alley carrying a cash register box, moments after prying it open.
The crew were heard exclaiming in Cantonese that it was like using a slot machine as they emptied coins onto the floor and piled them into an upturned cap.
Another allegedly showed David spraying graffiti on to a parked car on Gregory Street, Toowong, which police said was the offence he was charged over.
The most bizarre clip appeared to show the gang using a cigarette lighter to rig a car tyre to explode while driving.
The numerous crimes were allegedly committed over the Easter long weekend in at least the suburbs of Mt Gravat, Toowong, and Sunnybank Hills.
According to Hong Kong media, where the men were from, one of the gang allegedly contacted David and told him to get a new phone to avoid the police.
The student will face court on May 30 and police confiscated his phone while they try to track down the other men caught in the videos.
