The Mayur Vihar police have arrested three miscreants in connection with a mobile-snatching case after meticulously reviewing footage from 200 CCTV cameras. The police recovered a snatched Redmi-15 mobile phone and two stolen scooters from their possession.
The accused have been identified as Trilokpuri residents Faizan (alias Faiz), Dishan (alias Baba), and Shahrukh (alias Ammu). Deputy Commissioner of Police (East District) Rajiv Kumar stated that on November 7, a woman named Annu filed a complaint at the Mayur Vihar police station regarding the snatching of her mobile phone. She reported that while she was walking from her office toward the Mayur Vihar Extension metro station—around 4:45 PM near a petrol pump—a man on a scooter snatched her Redmi-15 mobile phone and fled. The police subsequently examined footage from 200 CCTV cameras.
How the police caught the three accused:
Meanwhile, on November 10, another scooter was reported stolen from the Mayur Vihar area. Upon reviewing the CCTV footage, the police identified Faizan (alias Faiz). Further investigation revealed the involvement of Dishan and Shahrukh in both the mobile-snatching and scooter-theft incidents. The police apprehended all three individuals.
Acting on information provided by Faizan, the police recovered the snatched mobile phone, as well as two scooters that had been stolen from the Kalkaji and Mayur Vihar areas. A third scooter, which was stolen from Pandav Nagar and used in the commission of these crimes, has yet to be recovered.
The police are currently searching for it. Investigations have revealed that the accused already have several prior cases registered against them, including charges related to snatching and theft.
