In a major breakthrough against vehicle theft, police in Kalaburagi have arrested two members of an interstate bike theft racket and recovered 14 stolen motorcycles during a targeted operation. The arrests were made following a complaint about a missing motorcycle, which prompted investigators to intensify surveillance in key areas of the city.
According to officials, the suspects were intercepted in the Kapanur Industrial Area after they were found moving in a suspicious manner. Upon questioning and verification, police uncovered their involvement in multiple vehicle theft cases spanning different districts and even neighboring states. A subsequent search operation led to the recovery of 14 motorcycles estimated to be worth around Rs 12.6 lakh.
The accused are believed to be habitual offenders who operated across state borders to avoid detection. By transporting stolen vehicles to different regions and altering identification details, they allegedly attempted to sell them at lower prices in informal markets. Investigators are now examining whether more individuals are connected to the network and if additional stolen vehicles can be traced.
Senior officers stated that the swift action reflects improved coordination and intelligence gathering by the department. The operation was carried out under the supervision of senior officials, and the accused have been remanded to judicial custody as further inquiries continue.
Vehicle theft remains a persistent concern in many urban centers, with organized gangs often targeting parked two wheelers due to their ease of transport and resale. Police have urged citizens to use anti theft devices, park in secure locations, and report suspicious activity promptly.
