Hyderabad: The Shamshabad Special Operations Team along with the Rajendranagar police nabbed a four-member gang of automobile thieves, including two minor boys who committed a series of two-wheeler thefts in the last 10 months. Police recovered 46 bikes, together worth Rs.50 lakh from them.
The arrested persons were Mohd.Ashwaq alias Kabir (21), the kingpin and Mohd.Akber (19), both residents of Bandlaguda in Chandrayangutta. The two juveniles were aged in their mid-teens. Two suspects, Rizwan and Saddam, were absconding.
