A team from Madanrting Police Station arrested four individuals on Monday for allegedly targeting a group of tourists from Mumbai and stealing Rs 50,000 in cash along with an iPhone 13 from their vehicle parked at Mawblei on Sunday evening.
The incident occurred around 8 pm when Jay Nand Kishore Joshi and his family, along with another newlywed couple from Mumbai, had parked their Innova near the Mahindra Showroom in Mawblei to dine at a nearby restaurant. Upon returning, they found the vehicle’s window smashed and discovered that their luggage containing the cash and iPhone 13 was missing.
The tourists promptly reported the theft to the Madanrting police, who launched an investigation. By Monday, the police successfully apprehended four suspects and recovered the stolen cash and phone.
The arrested individuals were identified as Chaphrang Nangkiew Sutnga (24) of Mawblei, Wanjop Kharumnuid (23) of Laitkor Nonglum, Albertstar Kharhujon (22) of Umphyrnai, and Michael Nongrum (45) of Demthring Block A.
