They were arrested after they were caught attempting to kneecap a homeless man and now face a trial for assault.

Kneecapping
The act of permanently destroying someone’s kneecaps. Often done with a firearm (as popularised in film and television), a baseball bat or lead pipe or other blunt instrument, or a power drill (often used in conjunction with a countersunk drill bit and popular with the IRA).
When the police heard the screaming, they knew that Shamus had been on the wrong end of an IRA kneecapping.

Kneecap
When a person is shot in both knees, rendering them unable to walk.
Used to be a favourite move for the IRA, but they gave up when orthopedics became good at putting knees back together.
Oh yeah, and a kneecap is the joint between your femur and shin bones..
"If you all don't shut up I'm going to have to take out a .22 and start kneecapping."

Kneecapping
What the Irish IRA and PIRA did when other drug dealers got in their way, they'd take a pistol and shoot him right in the back of the knee. This would shatter the knee, thus crippling the victim for life.
