Interstate gang of mobike thieves busted in Fatehabad, bikes recovered

In a major breakthrough, Fatehabad police have uncovered an interstate motorcycle theft gang and arrested five suspects involved in dismantling and selling stolen two-wheelers. The operation was conducted under the leadership of Superintendent of Police Siddhant Jain as part of a special campaign against vehicle thefts. Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Sub-Inspector Ved, along with other officials, set up a checkpoint near Karnauli on Rajrani Road, where they apprehended the accused.

The arrested individuals, most of whom are residents of Sardulgarh in Punjab, used to steal motorcycles and transport them to deserted locations. There, they would dismantle the vehicles using a grinder machine and sell the parts in various markets, making it difficult for authorities to trace the original stolen bikes. During the raid, police recovered nine complete stolen motorcycles, nearly 40 dismantled parts of other bikes, one grinder machine and additional tools used in the thefts.

DSP Sanjay Kumar stated that the gang had committed thefts in Fatehabad and surrounding areas, the recovered material is estimated to be worth Rs 15 lakh. He also highlighted that such crimes were carried out in a planned and technical manner to avoid detection.

The DSP further urged citizens to report any suspicious activity to the police to ensure timely intervention. He assured that under the current police leadership, strict action would continue against organised crimes such as vehicle theft and drug trafficking.
