Arrest helps DCB solve four theft cases

However, a difference arose when the first victim stated that the accused was riding a vehicle with the registration number GJ-6-N-286, and the other claimed that the chain-snatcher8217;s vehicle bore the number GJ-6-NN-286.

But when both confirmed that the accused was riding a black motorcycle, DCB sleuths then immediately procured the name and addresses of owners of the vehicles with the two numbers. While the first turned out to be the registration number of a moped, the other one belonged to a black motorcycle. The police then arrested the motorcycle-owner.

As the owner was not available till late Wednesday evening, a police constable, in plainclothes, was deployed on the main road near his house. A police team, led by Kanani, then raided the house when the constable informed that the youth had come.
