On October 18, the police had arrested Sharanjit and Gurveer with a stolen motorcycle from Sector 42 and a case was registered under Section 379 of the IPC. The accused were sent to four-day police remand. Later, Mandeep was arrested on October 20.

The police said the accused were active in the Tricity and used to steal vehicles parked at various parking lots of the city.

Sharanjit and Gurveer used to steal motorcycles and sell them at throwaway prices to Mandeep.

The police said Mandeep used to sell the stolen motorcycles with fake number plates in rural areas. He used to tell buyers that these motorcycles were impounded after owners defaulted on payments to auto financers.

While Gurveer is a drug addict, Mandeep used to buy stolen motorcycles to meet his daily needs.
