A coordinated police operation has dismantled a motorcycle theft gang operating in Jamshedpur’s Parsudih area.
JAMSHEDPUR – Parsudih police have arrested five individuals involved in a motorcycle theft ring, recovering five stolen bikes in the process.
The arrested adults include Mohd. Rehmad and Saddam Hussain from Kapali, and Tasleem Ansari from Kowali. Two minors were also apprehended.

Mohd. Rehmad reportedly stole the motorcycles, while Tasleem Ansari was responsible for selling them in rural areas.
The stolen bikes were typically sold for prices ranging from Rs 2,500 to Rs 8,000.
Two minors, allegedly lured by the promise of easy money, were found to be involved in the thefts.
Police recovered additional stolen motorcycles from the minors in Kowali.
Authorities are continuing their investigation to uncover any additional stolen vehicles and potential gang members.
The arrests highlight the ongoing challenge of vehicle theft in the region and the importance of community vigilance.
Local residents are being urged to report any suspicious activities to assist in curbing such crimes.
