Bokaro: In a major breakthrough, the Bokaro Police have successfully recovered 45 stolen motorcycles and arrested two individuals involved in the thefts. The operation, led by Bokaro Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Swargiary, targeted a rising number of motorcycle thefts across the district.
During a press conference at the City Police Station, SP Swargiary revealed that the arrested criminals, identified as Mohammed Parvez (34) and Mohammed Masoom Ansari (19), have a criminal history. Parvez, with a previous case registered against him in Ranchi, was involved in stealing motorcycles, which were sold for amounts ranging between Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 20,000 based on their condition. The stolen vehicles were reportedly used to transport coal in the region’s mining areas.
The police team recovered the motorcycles from various locations, including Kathara, Tenughat, Gomia, and Petarwar police station areas, where they were hidden with the intent to be sold. Cases related to the recovered motorcycles have already been registered at multiple police stations across the district, including BS City, Sector 4, Sector 6, Sector 9, and Sector 12.
The arrest of the two criminals and the recovery of a large number of stolen vehicles is being hailed as a significant achievement for the Bokaro Police.
The operation was supported by a team of dedicated police officers, including Sub Inspectors and Constables from various police stations across the district. The Bokaro Police are continuing their investigation into the thefts, with more arrests expected.
In an appeal to the public, SP Swargiary advised vehicle owners to park their motorcycles in designated, secure locations and use additional locks. He also urged shopkeepers, schools, colleges, and other establishments to install CCTV cameras both inside and outside their premises to help monitor and prevent criminal activity. Those leaving their homes for extended periods are encouraged to inform the nearest police station for enhanced surveillance.
The recovery of these 45 stolen motorcycles marks a significant success in the Bokaro Police’s ongoing efforts to combat crime in the region.
