Delhi Police arrests snatcher duo 'Bilora-Haddi'; jewellery, vehicles recovered
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has arrested the notorious 'Bilora-Haddi' duo involved in multiple cases of snatching, with the recovery of stolen items and vehicles, officials said on Wednesday.
The accused, Sanju alias Bilora and Sachin alias Haddi, were arrested from the Bans Wala Park area on Tuesday following a tip-off.
They came in contact with each other while lodged in jail earlier and later formed the 'Bilora-Haddi' duo after their release.
"The motorcycle used by the accused was also found stolen. Interrogation of the accused led to the recovery of five more two-wheelers," the office said.
The police said four snatched gold chains and Rs 29,500, suspected to be proceeds of crime, were seized from the accused. The recovered chains are suspected to be linked to snatching incidents reported in Vikas Puri, Shalimar Bagh and Paschim Vihar.
Investigators said the duo operated in a coordinated manner and mainly targeted pedestrians wearing gold chains. "One of them would ride the motorcycle while the other swiftly snatched the chain before escaping from the spot," the officer said.
The police said both Sanju and Sachin are history sheeters and have been found involved in more than 70 criminal cases.
