Mumbai Police have arrested three teenagers from Saki Naka for allegedly stealing high-end motorcycles, recovering nine stolen two-wheelers from their possession.
The arrests were made following a complaint by a man whose Royal Enfield Classic 350 was stolen between 10 pm on January 13 and 7 am on January 14 from behind the BMC office at Gundavali in Andheri East. Based on the complaint, police registered a case under Section 303(2) (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
During the investigation, the crime detection team carried out technical analysis and gathered inputs from informants, which led them to suspects residing in Sangharsh Nagar, Saki Naka.
According to police, the accused would roam the area late at night to identify parked motorcycles. Officers laid a trap over two to three nights and eventually tracked and apprehended the suspects.
The accused were identified as Omkar Sunil Fasage (19), an autorickshaw driver; Sagar Rahul Gaikwad (19); and Karthik Vishnu Mhaske (18), a student.
During interrogation, the trio allegedly confessed to stealing multiple sports motorcycles. Police subsequently recovered nine two-wheelers that had been parked in a garage, with the accused allegedly planning to sell them.
The recovered vehicles include Royal Enfield Classic, KTM Duke, and Yamaha MT motorcycles, which were reported stolen from various parts of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Further investigation is underway.
