Solan, January 18
A team of the cyber cell and the Nalagarh police yesterday arrested four members of a gang involved in stealing trucks from this industrial belt and selling them after dismantling them to dealers in Ludhiana.
The gang members were today produced before a local court, which remanded them in police custody. A police team led by Vijay Pal Singh arrested the four gang members while one was arrested earlier. A Tata Safari SUV used in the crime was also seized.
Jagmohan, who hails from Kharar, was arrested from Derabassi while Prakash Singh, who hails from Fatehpur, and Bittu, a native of Ludhiana, were arrested from Sirhind. Their another accomplice Vicky was arrested from his native place Ludhiana. Aman Preet was arrested earlier from Ludhiana.
The racket came to light on January 6 when a truck parked in front of a dhabha at Thana village in this industrial belt was stolen. It was dismantled and then sold to a junk dealer in Ludhiana. The truck’s location was traced with the help of the GPS and the police got a major lead in the case, said police officials.
