This gang of eight was driving Delhi police crazy. On Wednesday, the Crime Branch arrested Ram Kumar (33), Raj Kumar (36), Amjad Mirza (30), Javed (35), Sandeep (25), Pankaj (35), Praveen (23) and Sukhchain (28). The culprits are allegedly involved in 100 cases of thefts of cars and bikes, all within the last one year.



"We have arrested 8 persons, all from a gang. Almost all of these people were involved in commission of crime in their past records. This gang was working in the NCR area. They would steal cars and bikes from the NCR and then sell them in the interior areas of Punjab, Haryana and UP," said a police officer.

The cops have recovered 16 stolen vehicles including two Toyota Innovas, a Mahindra Bolero, a Mahindra Scorpio, a Chervorlet Tavera, a Hyundai Santro, two Maruti Wagon R cars, a Tata Indigo, a Hyundai i10 and six bikes.

"We have recovered ten cars and six bikes from the accused. The culprits also made fake documents of the vehicles to cheat people. We are investigating the case and are trying to crack their nexus in different states," the officer added.
