Two held in mobile phone robbery case

The B-Division police arrested two persons involved in a recent mobile phone robbery case here on Tuesday. Those arrested have been identified as Simranjeet Singh, alias Mota, and Sumbhrat, both residents of Makboolpura in Amritsar.

The police recovered a mobile phone snatched by them and a Splendor motorcycle used in the crime. The case was registered on a complaint filed by Sahil Sharma, a resident of Kanwa Taragarh, in Gurdaspur district.

As per the complaint, at 8.30 pm on February 12, he was walking on 100 Feet Road near Tarlok Dairy while talking on his mobile phone when two motorcycle-borne snatchers approached him from the rear, grabbed his mobile phone and fled the scene. Following the complaint, an immediate investigation was launched.

ACP (East) Maninderpal Singh formed a special team to trace the culprits. A breakthrough came when ASI Rampal from the B-Division police station, with the support of his team, successfully tracked and arrested the accused. During their interrogation, the snatched mobile phone was recovered from their possession. The suspects will be presented before a court and further investigations will be conducted to recover any additional stolen items.
