TAXILA: An inter-district gang of vehicle lifters was busted and 10 stolen vehicles were recovered from their possession on Monday.

Senior Superintendent of Police Potohar Division Syed Ali told reporters that acting on a tip off, a police party led by Sub Divisional Police Officer DSP Tahir Kazmi busted the seven-member Naseem gang. He said 10 vehicles including five Suzuki Mehran, two Suzuki FX, one Suzuki Bolan, one Suzuki Khyber and one rickshaw was recovered from their possession.

Members of the gang were also involved in car lifting cases in other districts, he said, adding the suspects stole vehicles and sold them afterwards along with bogus documents.

Police registered separate cases against them and started investigation. The CPO appreciated the efforts of the Taxila Police station for arresting all members of the gang. He said the prime responsibility of police was to protect the lives and properties of the public.
