A distinctive Suzuki Burgman street scooter led to the arrest of a notorious criminal who is said to be involved in a spate of chain snatching offences in Mira Road, Kashimira and Kandivali in Mumbai.
Alarmed by the sudden rise in chain snatching incidents by bike-riding miscreants, DCP (Crime) Dr Mahesh Patil, under the supervision of MBVV Police Chief Sadanand Date, deputed Special Crime Branch from unit 1 to nab the offenders who were striking at will.
The teams activated their informer network and started scanning footage captured by closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed in the vicinity of the crime scene and possible getaway routes.
