“The bike-borne accused were stopped for checking, and after they failed to produce documents establishing ownership of the two-wheeler, they confessed that the motorcycle had indeed been stolen. They also revealed the whereabouts of two other stolen bikes, which were also recovered,” he said, adding that the vehicles had been stolen from Dugri and Dehlon areas.

“The accused, who used old keys to steal the vehicles, said they wanted to sell the vehicles for easy money,” he said.

A case has been registered against the accused under Sections 379 (theft) and 411 (dishonestly receiving stolen property) of the Indian Penal Code. Davinder Singh is already facing trial for allegedly carrying out two burglaries.
