He said 22 stolen mobile phones and two motorcycles, all worth over Rs.3 lakh were recovered from the possession of the gang.

Nagaraju said the gang members would first scout for pedestrians speaking over the phone. Of the six gang members, two of them would come from behind and snatch the handset and hand it over to four other associates who were following them and escape.

The police identified the five gang members as Shaik Rafeeq (19), a painter, Shaik Zuber (19), a plumber, D Sanjay (23), a catering worker, Shaik Shabaz (26) and Shaik Irfan (22), both working as mason. At 3 pm on July 15, Rafeeq and Zuber noticed a pedestrian speaking over the phone at Nizamabad bus station. The duo came from behind and snatched the pedestrian’s mobile phone and gave it to their associates who were following them.

Based on a tip-off, the police nabbed the gang members at Sridevi theatre in Nizamabad on Tuesday morning. Rafeeq, Shabaz and Zuber, all three were residents of Autonagar in Nizamabad while Irfan and Sanjay were residents of Hamalwadi in the district.
