The Noida police force disclosed that a small gang consisting of two men was apprehended after a coordinated operation that combined local informants with electronic surveillance. The suspects, operating under the aliases Babul and Ashish, have been linked to a series of burglaries targeting homes in Sectors‑19,‑24,‑29 and‑39. Seized items include steel bins stolen from a Sector‑19 residence, a total of ₹20,570 in cash recovered from multiple case files, a motorcycle stolen from Delhi’s Simarpuri area, and an array of burglary tools such as pipe cutters, iron wrenches, iron cutters, a crowbar, a sieve and two illegal knives. The pair also admitted to participating in mobile phone and laptop thefts in the Sector‑39 zone, confirming that the proceeds from those crimes had already been expended. Firuz, originally from Khurja, works as an Ola‑Uber driver and has a third‑standard education, while Ashish, a graduate from Bareilly, drives a taxi from Chhlera village. Their criminal histories feature numerous charges under the Theft Act, Arms Act and the Gangster Act, spanning from 2016 for Firuz to recent 2022 cases for Ashish. Authorities are now cross‑checking their records with other open investigations.
