Attapur Police | Hyderabad, June 30 (Maxim News): Attapur Police have arrested two habitual offenders involved in a motorcycle theft racket and recovered five stolen two wheelers from their possession.
The arrests relate to the theft of a Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle near Pillar No. 295 at Shivarampally on June 25. Police also launched a manhunt for two other accused who remain absconding.
The arrested accused are Mohammad Shahnawaz alias Shanu (18), a private employee from Gudi Ka Davakhana, and Mohd. Moiz Mohiuddin (18), who works at a cloth shop and lives in Falaknuma. Police identified the absconding accused as Noor and Farhan.
According to the complaint filed by businessman K. Narasimha, he had parked his Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle outside his restaurant near Pillar No. 295 at around 2 am on June 25. When he returned, he found the motorcycle missing and immediately approached Attapur Police.
During the investigation, police found that Farhan first noticed the unattended motorcycle and alerted the other accused. Soon afterwards, Shahnawaz, Moiz, and Noor reached the spot on a Honda Activa that had earlier been stolen from the Begum Bazar police station limits. Shahnawaz allegedly stole the Royal Enfield motorcycle, while the other two helped tow it away from the scene. He later concealed the stolen vehicle at his residence for future disposal.
