In a major breakthrough, the Crime Branch has arrested Salman Zhuzhara, a resident of Panchmahal district, for his alleged involvement in multiple vehicle thefts across various cities in Gujarat. Zhuzhara was apprehended near Golden Chowkdi on Thursday after police received a tip-off during routine patrolling.
His arrest follows the interrogation of another vehicle thief, who revealed that he had been selling stolen vehicles to Zhuzhara. According to police officials, Zhuzhara would dispose of the stolen bikes by selling them to a scrap dealer in Godhra.
Further investigations have linked Salman Zhuzhara to at least 11 vehicle theft cases in Vadodara and Anand, in addition to several burglary offenses. The police are continuing their probe to uncover more details of the stolen goods network.
