In Paris, the name Apache is given to a low class of criminals. In The United States (NOT America!!!) Apache is the name of an Indian (American aboriginal) tribe, and there these criminals are often called thugs, which derives from the Indian (Asia) word thuggee.
It's longer, but sometimes clear writing tends to be that way, much to my chagrin.
