Panchkula, Nov 14: The Panchkula police have solved a motorcycle theft case with the arrest of two alleged thieves from Ramgarh and the recovery of the stolen vehicle.
The arrests were made by the Crime Branch-1 team in connection with a theft reported from Sector 28 on November 8. The accused have been identified as Deepak Gupta, 24, and Shubham Kumar, 25.
ACP (Crime) Vikram Nehra said the complainant had approached the police after finding his elder brother’s motorcycle missing from the parking area of his house.
The complainant told the police that his brother had gone to his native village with his wife and children for about 15 days, leaving the motorcycle parked at the house. When the complainant visited the residence at around 11 am on November 8 to take the vehicle, it was nowhere to be found. Efforts to trace it in the neighbourhood also proved unsuccessful.
A theft case was subsequently registered at the Chandimandir police station.
DCP (Crime and Traffic) Amrinder Singh said the team, headed by Inspector Manoj, arrested the two men on the basis of a tip-off and recovered the motorcycle. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
