Two vehicle thieves caught, stolen loot worth ₹25 lakh seized

Two repeat offenders involved in vehicle theft were arrested by CCS Balanagar and Jeedimetla Police. Nine stolen vehicles worth around ₹25 lakh, including one four-wheeler, seven two-wheelers, and a goods carrier, were recovered.

The accused have been identified as Nakka Srinivas Rao, 32, of IDA Jeedimetla, and Mohammed Shoheb, 26, of Bowrampet. Both have been stealing motorcycles since 2014 and have been linked to over 15 cases against them in Jeedimetla, Suraram, Pet Basheerabad, Neredmet, Kushaiguda, and Shameerpet.

They were earlier arrested multiple times and sent to jail, but each time they were released, they returned to stealing vehicles. Police urged the public to lock their vehicles properly, park only in secure areas, and install CCTV systems to prevent theft.
