The Delhi Police Special Staff busted an interstate mobile theft gang and recovered 224 stolen and snatched mobile phones. This gang would unlock and send stolen and snatched mobile phones from Delhi to Nepal via Munger, Bihar.
According to the Delhi Police, the gang members purchased stolen mobile phones from various areas of Delhi at cheap prices through natural and pick-pocketing practices. They then had the lock patterns broken by mobile repair shops in Azad Market and Gaffar Market.
The mobile phones were then sent to Nepal via Munger, Bihar, where they fetched good prices. The recent Gen Z movement and the fall of the government in Nepal have worsened the situation, forcing the consignment to remain in Delhi, and the police raided and apprehended the gang.
Delhi Police conducted a strategic operation.
Acting on intelligence, the Delhi Police arrested two accused, Vrindavan and Mukesh Kumar, from Anand Vihar Railway Station. 98 stolen mobile phones were recovered from them.

Based on their information, the accused, identified as Vicky, Vikas, and Vicky Bind, were arrested. Delhi Police also recovered more than 120 stolen mobile phones from them. A total of 224 mobile phones and a laptop were seized. Fourteen of these mobile phones have been linked to theft and snatching cases registered at various police stations.
