The South Delhi police have arrested four persons for their alleged involvement in disposing stolen high-end cars in Northeastern States and seized six such vehicles.
The arrested men have been identified as Deepak Kumar (25), Amarjeet Kumar (27), Mehraj (30) and Sanjeev Tomar (48). Deepak and Amarjeet used to take orders of the cars from their associates based in Nagaland, the police said.
They would then pass on the information to autolifters in Meerut who would steal the vehicles and get the engine/chassis numbers changed on the basis of the details of registration certificate provided by Deepak and Amarjeet. The duo would then drive the stolen vehicle to Dimapur, Nagaland, for disposal, the police said.
Over 100 thefts
“They came in contact with one Narender, a dismissed constable of Delhi Police, having network with people dealing in stolen cars in the Northeast,” said a senior police officer.
They started with Narender, but soon developed their own network and were supplying high-end stolen vehicles for the last two years, the police added. Meharaj and Sanjeev Tomar have allegedly handed over more than 100 luxury cars to Deepak and Amarjeet, the police added.
