Two suspected snatchers were apprehended by traffic police personnel after a brief chase in New Friends Colony area of southeast Delhi, an official said on Sunday.
Two stolen mobile phones were recovered from Muneer Hussain (31) and Azhar Ali (25) who were intercepted near Mathura Road.
According to police, traffic personnel while carrying out routine checking noticed the duo on a motorcycle acting in a suspicious manner. Shortly afterward, they spotted local police personnel in a government motorcycle chasing them.
“When signalled to stop, the suspects allegedly abandoned their motorcycle and tried to flee. The traffic staff chased them for nearly 200 metres and managed to apprehend both men,” a senior police officer said.
During a search, police recovered two mobile phones. One of them, an iPhone 15, had allegedly been snatched moments earlier from a software engineer near Mata Ka Mandir T-Point in New Friends Colony. The second phone was found to have been snatched from the Sarai Kale Khan area.
