The Delhi Police have successfully dismantled an inter-state network responsible for the sale and purchase of stolen vehicles, seizing 21 cars and arresting four suspects from Punjab, as reported on Tuesday.
The suspects, identified as Avtar Singh, Harpreet Singh, Paramdeep, and Manpreet, were allegedly involved in buying stolen cars at low prices, forging essential numbers, and fabricating registration papers to resell them as legitimate vehicles, according to DCP Apoorva Gupta.
Following a tip-off, officers set a trap near the DND Flyway, intercepting a blue Maruti Baleno with a fake number plate, leading to the arrest of Avtar Singh and Harpreet Singh. Subsequent raids in Punjab led to the arrest of the other two suspects, with 21 luxury cars being recovered during the operation.
