Modus operandi

Modus operandi, often abbreviated as M.O., is a Latin term that means, “a manner of operating.” Modus operandi is the mode/method of operating particularly with regard to the pattern of criminal behavior that is so distinctive that the investigating officers could attribute it to the work of the same person.

For example, lighting loud firecrackers towards distracting the victims was part of the modus operandi of the bank robbers.  Back.
