Delhi Police Arrests in Theft Cases
The Delhi Police caught four men who were stealing expensive phones like iPhones and Samsung devices.
They would steal these phones from crowded places like concerts and then wrap them in aluminum foil to stop the owners from tracking them.
The thieves would then sell the phones quickly in Ghaziabad.
The police found 40 stolen phones and some of them were taken during a concert by AP Dhillon.
The leader of the group, Salman, wanted to live a fancy lifestyle, which is why he started this theft ring.
The police are still looking for more people involved and trying to match the stolen phones to other cases.
Additionally, the Delhi Police arrested four women for stealing a wallet from a commuter in the Metro.
The wallet contained jewelry and cash.
The theft happened near the R K Ashram Metro Station, and the victim was a resident of Rewari in Haryana.
