Police in Arunachal Pradesh have arrested Md. Jamir Ali, a resident of Batiamari Borivye, Sonitpur, Assam, after a coordinated interstate operation to recover a stolen Yamaha MT-15 motorcycle and Realme 9i 5G mobile phone.
The arrest followed a detailed investigation by Chimpu Police in the Itanagar Capital Region (ICR), who tracked the stolen items to Sonitpur using technical surveillance and call detail record analysis. Working alongside Assam Police, a raid was conducted, which led to Ali’s apprehension after a brief pursuit.
During the operation, authorities recovered the motorcycle, hidden inside a locked bamboo and CGI-sheet house. The stolen mobile phone was found in the possession of a woman, who stated that she had bought it from Ali for Rs 3,000.
Ali reportedly confessed to stealing the items from the residence of Tagru Bhai in Sangrik Happa Colony, Chimpu, on February 20. He is currently in judicial custody, while investigations continue to identify any potential accomplices involved in the crime.
In a separate set of operations, Chimpu Police successfully recovered three stolen TVS Ntorq scooters within just 24 hours. Authorities are investigating whether these thefts are connected to a larger organized crime network.
Itanagar Capital Region Superintendent of Police, Rohit Rajbir Singh, praised the officers for their quick action and the effective use of tracking technology to solve these thefts.
