Major Mobile Theft Ring Dismantled in Guwahati: Police Recover 228 Mobile Handsets
Guwahati, July 12, 2024: In a significant breakthrough, the Special Operation Group of the Central Guwahati Police District, in collaboration with the Fancy Bazaar Outpost of Panbazaar Police Station, has successfully dismantled a major network of mobile thieves. The operation culminated in the arrest of six individuals and the recovery of 228 mobile handsets and 113.47 kilograms of mobile parts.
The coordinated effort began with the apprehension of Nasir SK, a resident of Murshidabad, West Bengal, who was found in possession of 17 mobile phones at Sahida Market in Fancy Bazaar. His arrest provided crucial leads that directed law enforcement to Jalukbari.
Subsequent raids were conducted at eight rented rooms in Lachit Park Nagar, Jalukbari. The raids resulted in the substantial seizure of mobile handsets and parts, effectively crippling the theft network.
Authorities have confirmed that the dismantling of this network is a major step forward in curbing mobile theft in the region. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts focused on tracing the origins and connections of the recovered items.
