German left-wing activists dressed up as superheroes have been plundering gourmet stores and posh restaurants in Hamburg. They say they're defending the poor like a modern day Robin Hood would. The police have few leads.

I'm sure it couldn't be too hard to catch them. Surely there aren't that many gangs running around with members including Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

The article doesn't mention what the group does with its plunder.
I suppose they invite the poor to their homes and grill the Kobe beef for them, serving it up on their best china along with a crystal glass of a fine vintage.
In a note posted on the internet the gang said it had distributed the food among Germany's new underclass - interns who worked for months in glamorous publishing houses without being paid, low-wage nursery assistants, mums forced to take part-time jobs as cleaning ladies and "one-euro jobbers", performing menial tasks under a German government welfare scheme.

Last month Germany's real-life Robin Hood gang struck again, stealing a trolley of luxury food. But who are they - and why do they do it? And how did Luke Harding manage to track them down when the police couldn't?
I just read the article but am still none the wiser. I may have missed it, but as far as I could see the article doesn't say at all how Cool HandMike Luke tracked them down.
