Gurugram Police on Sunday said they had busted a gang of robbers and vehicle-lifters and arrested three persons the previous day. Police added that they recovered three Honda City and Verna cars from their possession.
Police said that the suspects were involved in multiple cases of car snatching and theft. They visited Gurugram twice a week for the last several months, robbed the cars and sold them in Meerut.
Police identified the suspects as Deepak alias Peelia of Etah and Atul Kumar of Bulandshahar in Uttar Pradesh, and Rahul alias Ravi from Haryana’s Palwal. According to police, the suspects were arrested based on tip.
Assistant commissioner of police (crime) Preet Pal Sangwan said that the suspects were linked to around 20 vehicle lifting cases in the city. “We had been receiving regular complaints of vehicles being stolen from residential areas at night. We scanned CCTV footage from several places and identified routes the suspects used to reach Gurugram,” he said.
Police said they noticed the stolen vehicles moved towards Delhi using the Dwarka Expressway and via Basai road regularly. With this information, police teams were sent to patrol the route and tapped into their network of informants, said Sangwan.
