Noida: Four vicious vehicle thieves riding on two motorcycles were arrested by the Sector-126 police station on Friday during checking of suspicious persons and vehicles. A pistol and a live cartridge were also recovered from their possession. The police also recovered seven other bikes hidden in the bushes near Raipur Pushta. The recovered bikes were stolen from Delhi and surrounding areas.
Police interrogation has revealed that the gang has been involved in several incidents of motorcycle theft in NCR. The gang especially targeted those places where vehicles are parked in the parking lot or left alone on the roadside at night. These gangs used to inspect the place before stealing the vehicle, so that they could take advantage of the lack of security or less traffic. The gang members said they always planned to send the stolen motorcycles to other cities to avoid getting caught. They worked as an organized gang in this work.
Each member of this gang had a special task. Some members used to inspect vehicles. Whereas, others used to hide or sell motorcycles after stealing them. If anyone saw them stealing or tried to catch them, they would run away at gunpoint. Police said that the gang has stolen more than 20 bikes so far. Most of these were stolen from busy areas like Delhi and Noida.
