New Delhi: The Delhi Police has busted a mobile phone snatching and disposal racket that allegedly targeted iPhone users, arresting three people and recovering 66 stolen mobile phones, an official said on Thursday. Police identified the accused as Sameer (23), Suhail (23) and Zahir alias Salman (36).
Police said the gang targeted iPhones and later sold the stolen devices in grey markets through a receiver network. The action followed the investigation into a snatching incident reported near IP Park in southeast Delhi's Sarai Kale Khan area on April 18, in which two motorcycle-borne assailants robbed a man of his iPhone 17 Pro.
