Used to

Hi.

"By getting his chief aide to threaten the Telegraph to try to get them not to break the story, Cameron has been acting like the Kray twins used to when they terrorised the East End." [From The Guardian readers' forum.]

Is used to a shortened form of used to act in the sentence?

Thank you.
