Thief caught red-handed; 23 stolen PCs recovered

In the second case of this nature, in less than a month, the Mumbai police
has yet again confiscated as many as 23 PCs and two LCD systems allegedly stolen
from different parts of the city. Cops also held three accused in this case.
Mohammad Iqbal, one of the accused, was caught while trying to flee after
stealing a computer in the Dadar area last week. Two other people—Mustafa Hyder
Ali and Mukesh Jain—to whom Iqbal sold the stolen goods, were also held by the
police after they interrogated Iqbal. The cops claimed that these machines were
stolen from different shops in Dadar.

This is the second case which has come to light in the last one month. On Jan
9, Chembur Police confiscated as many as 28 laptops, allegedly stolen from
different parts of the city. These laptops were sold as second hand goods in a
Lamington Road-based shop. However, the police have failed to make any arrest in
this regard. Later the cops were also able to trace the owners of two of the
laptops.
