44 vehicles worth ₹1.30 cr. recovered
The Navi Mumbai Crime Branch’s Unit I has arrested three people who stole 62 Royal Enfield Bullet bikes from Maharashtra and Goa between September 2020 and January 2021. Forty-four bikes worth ₹1.30 crore have been recovered.
The accused have been identified as Amol Shivaji Dhobale (35), a resident of Ghatkopar; Sohail Imtiaz Shaikh (28), a resident of Mumbra; and Saurabh Milind Karanje (23), a resident of Vikhroli. Unit I officials found that in all 12 cases filed in Navi Mumbai, bikes were stolen in the evening.
Additional Commissioner of Police B.G. Shekhar Patil said CCTV footage showed that the accused used an ignition switch to start the engine. “Usually, thieves break the handle lock or open the socket,” he said.
