On Friday, Sindh Police announced the arrest of a gang member from Karachi who was allegedly responsible for the theft of at least Rs 2 crore from the Swat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to the police, the suspect was apprehended during a raid that was carried out in response to a tip from a location in the city’s Boat Basin neighbourhood.
The suspect, according to the police official, was responsible for the theft of Rs. 1.82 crore from a gas station in the Swabi district. He is found to be in possession of a weapon and his share of the stolen money. At the Jackson police station, the case has been registered for further action.
The Sindh Police detained a group of bike lifters earlier this month after they allegedly stole bicycles from several parking lots in Karachi.
According to Anti Vehicle Lifting Cell Karachi (AVLC) the four-member gang is accused of stealing more than 100 motorcycles from hospitals, Sunday markets, wedding halls, and other parking areas in Karachi.
The suspects rented two warehouses in Orangi Town, from where they detached the spare parts of stolen motorcycles and scrapped them in Karachi and Balochistan.
The police recovered 5 motorbikes and spear parts from 10 different motorcycles from warehouses in the direction of the alleged gang.
