Noida’s law enforcers struck gold against vehicle thieves plaguing the NCR. Sector-49 police exposed an inter-state gang, collaring three operatives and seizing 24 two-wheelers including 22 motorcycles and two scooters, plus counterfeit plates and a loaded illegal firearm.
The bust unfolded through meticulous intel from local sources and tech-driven monitoring, leading to arrests in the Sector-50 BSES power house area. The culprits—Vishal aka Salim (23), Deepak (22), and Divakar Sarkar (30)—detailed their modus operandi: reconnaissance in high-density zones of Noida, Delhi, and Ghaziabad, swift thefts, temporary hideouts, and quick sales on the black market.
Recovered items tie into active investigations—one bike to Noida Sector-20 FIR 347/2025, and two to Delhi’s Ashok Nagar and Pul Prahladpur cases. Police are cross-referencing others for potential links.
Diving into records, Vishal carries 13 serious offenses like arms possession and gang activities. Deepak’s ledger includes narcotics, weapons, and theft charges. Divakar’s past is equally shady. Long active, this syndicate likely orchestrated thefts spanning multiple states, promising further arrests and recoveries.
As urban mobility surges, such crackdowns signal robust policing strategies to safeguard citizens’ assets and deter criminal networks.
