Nashik: DCP (zone 2) Vijay Kharat, during a meeting with all senior trees of 13 police stations in the district, instructed them to increase intelligence to criminals involved in vehicle theft.
Vehicle theft has been a challenge for city police for the past years, with hundreds of vehicles stolen every year.
In accordance with data, in 2018, the police have registered 56 vehicle theft cases, 505 cases registered in 2019, 417 in 2020 and in 2021 registered 460 cases until the end of November.
Meanwhile, over the past two years, the level of detection of stolen vehicles was only 17%.
In 2018, the level of detection was 27%, while in 2019, the detection rate was 21%.
Vijay Kharat said that Nabbing criminals involved in vehicle theft is the best choice in maintaining theft under control.
He said that once the thief was arrested, the vehicle thief chain was revealed.
For the same thing, he has instructed all officials to improve intelligence and capture vehicle thieves.
Apart from this, he said that PI had also been ordered to oversee the activities of vehicle thieves in the police record.
The police have been asked to examine what this thief did to make a living and take the necessary precautions against them.
Most of the time, stolen vehicles are sold in rural areas or adjoining districts.
Thieves generally sell bicycles to people at cheaper prices because they do not have vehicle documents.
Vehicles are sold under the pretext that the document will be given to them later.
