This AsiaMedia article says that “instead of heading home after work,a 30-year-old Guangzhou news editor going by the internet name of “Forest” hurried to the Shangxiajiu pedestrian mall in Liwan district on Tuesday to meet up with a like-minded group. The members came together in July last year through a QQ, or online chat group and few have told their families about their activities. That’s because Forest and the eight other members of the team are vigilantes tackling pickpockets in the city’s crowded shopping areas.”
