Double Whammy

Hey, if I had a twin, I'd have as much fun.

The brothers, who were not named for legal reasons, operated in parks and playgrounds in Nuremberg until their arrest in July.

Dressed identically and choreographing their actions, the 17-year-old twins bullied children into handing over money, sweets and other items.

"They had a slick racket going," an investigator officer told Nuremberg State Court where the youths faced more than 200 charges related to their twin crime wave.

"One twin would confront a child and force the kid to run down a street where, on rounding a corner, it would come face-to-face with the other twin and freak out," he added.
