Delhi Police on Wednesday said that they have recovered 555 stolen, snatched, and lost mobile phones valued at approximately Rs 2 crore.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara), Prashant Gautam, stated that the recovery was part of their special operation, ‘Vishwas’. “Our teams recovered 555 mobile phones from Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar,” he said.
The operation was conducted in two phases, with 311 mobile phones recovered between April and July, and another 244 recovered between October and December.
Police teams utilised methods such as IMEI searches, CDR analysis, and the CEIR portal to track and identify active stolen devices. IMEI, which stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity, is a unique 15-17 digit code assigned to every mobile phone, allowing service providers to identify valid devices.
According to the DCP, the stolen phones, which had an average grey market value of Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000, were linked to cases of robbery, burglary, snatching, and theft.
