MUMBAI: Two motorcycle-borne mobile thieves were caught after the Andheri Police scanned at least 150 CCTVs between Marol, Saki Naka, Ghatkopar and airport — the route they had taken to speed away after stealing an iPhone worth Rs 40,000 belonging to 31-year-old Swapna Sawant, who was travelling in an auto-rickshaw in the wee hours of January 23.
The incident occurred at around 4am on Cardinal Gracious Road in Andheri (East) when Sawant was heading back home. The police recovered the stolen mobile from the duo —Asif Shaikh (22) and Ashraf Inamdar (21) — eight days after they committed the offence.
