2 men arrested for stealing nearly 500 luxury cars | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Two men have been arrested for stealing nearly 500 luxury cars in a massive inter-state theft racket.
The duo focused on high-end vehicles in multiple states. On November 19, a tip-off from a source led the southern district police team to set up a trap near Shooting Range Road, MB Road, Sangam Vihar, where Burhan (49) was expected to deliver a stolen car. “When Burhan tried to flee after being stopped, the team intercepted the car,” a police officer said.
During a search, police recovered a country-made pistol and two live cartridges. Upon further questioning, Burhan was identified and the car was found to have been stolen from Model Town earlier this year.
Burhan led police to Sikander Rahman (46), another member of the syndicate. Sikander’s arrest resulted in the recovery of a second stolen car and another country-made pistol with a live cartridge. “The duo was part of a well-organized gang that stole high-end luxury cars in Delhi and adjoining states, which were then transported and sold in the northeastern states including Manipur, Assam and Mizoram,” said DCP (south) Ankit Chauhan. . Their operations were systematic, with each member playing a specific role in stealing, hiding and distributing the vehicles.
