The group is suspected of targeting Hyundai and Kia vehicles, stealing the vehicle with a getaway driver waiting and using stolen license plates to replace the plates of the stolen vehicles to help conceal the crime.

The release from the Denver DA's office alleges that "the Sopranos" also used Facebook to coordinate crimes and arrange for bond for each other when necessary. They have also been accused of live-streaming the events of their crimes.

They are suspected of using social media to also sell the items they stole.

The cases against all 11 individuals were filed on September 29, 2021, in Denver District Court.
