New Delhi, Dec 11

Delhi Police on Thursday arrested three snatchers who were identified after an extensive analysis of more than 300 CCTV cameras.

According to a statement released by the Anti-Snatching Cell of the South-West District, the team has done a commendable job by arresting three notorious snatchers -- Paras alias Bharat, aged 34, from Gandhi Market, Sagarpur; Pankaj alias Kake, aged 38, a resident of Ram Mandir, Jhanda Chowk, New Ashok Nagar; and Vinod Ghosh, aged 35, from Sagarpur. With their arrest, a snatched gold chain and a motorcycle used in the crime were recovered from their possession.

On December 2, a gold chain snatching incident occurred in the jurisdiction of Sagarpur Police Station. Accordingly, a case vide FIR No. 575/25 under Sections 304(2)/3(5) of the BNS was registered at Sagarpur Police Station, and an investigation was initiated.

To solve the case, a dedicated team was formed under the leadership of Inspector Hari Singh, in charge of the Anti-Snatching Cell (SWD). The team included Sub Inspector Kamal Kant, Head Constable Sumer, HC Anil, HC Narender, HC Shishram, Constable Sunny, Ct. Nitin, and Ct. Maan Singh. The operation was carried out under the supervision of Vijay Pal Tomar, ACP (Operations), South-West District, to nab the accused.

The team meticulously examined more than 300 CCTV cameras across the South-West and West Districts. The accused were spotted using a Yamaha FZ motorcycle and employing several deceptive tactics to evade arrest. These included taking multiple rounds in an area before committing the crime, changing clothes after snatching to avoid identification, and riding in a reckless zig-zag manner to blur the number plate in CCTV footage.

Through manual intelligence and secret informers, all three accused were successfully identified and apprehended. The snatched gold chain and the motorcycle used in the crime have been recovered.

During interrogation, the accused confessed that they indulged in gold chain snatching to earn quick money. They revealed that after committing the crime, they would sell the stolen gold to various individuals in Delhi. They were on their way to sell the snatched items when they were arrested. They also admitted that they exclusively used a Yamaha FZ motorcycle for such offences.

Further investigation is underway.

While the arrest is good news, it's concerning that they needed to check over 300 cameras. It highlights how widespread our surveillance is, but also how inefficient the system can be. The police did well, but we need smarter, integrated systems to make this process faster.

These snatchers are a menace, especially for women and senior citizens. Changing clothes and driving zig-zag... they put so much thought into crime. Imagine if they used that brain for honest work! Kudos to Inspector Hari Singh and his team for their persistence.

My mother had her chain snatched last year in Dwarka. The trauma lasts long after the material loss. It's a relief to see some action. But the article says they sell the gold to "various individuals in Delhi." Who are these buyers? They should be arrested too, otherwise, the cycle continues.

Good job! But this is just reactive policing. We need more preventive measures. Better street lighting, more police patrols in vulnerable areas, and maybe even self-defense workshops for the public. Catching them after the crime is done is only half the battle.

The sheer manpower involved—Inspector, SIs, Head Constables, Constables... it takes a whole team to catch three guys. Respect for the grind. Hope the recovered chain is returned to its owner quickly. The legal process should be fast now.
