#HyderabadCrackdown: International Mobile Theft Ring Busted! 🚨
In a major crackdown, Hyderabad’s South Zone Task Force police have busted an international mobile theft ring involving over 17 individuals, including five from Sudan. Authorities have seized stolen mobile phones worth INR 1.75 crore, with more than 700 high-end devices recovered. The gang targeted unsuspecting pedestrians, engaging them in conversation or swiftly snatching phones, often during late-night hours.
The stolen phones were unlocked using sophisticated software and then sold in Sudan. Hyderabad Police Commissioner Kothakota Srinivas Reddy revealed that the culprits not only snatched mobile phones but sometimes cash as well. Police have identified that these crimes primarily occurred post 10 PM across three commissionerates. This operation has shed light on the growing issue of international crime syndicates targeting local communities for high-value electronics.
