In a coordinated effort to tackle the rising cases of mobile phone thefts by a specialised gang from West Bengal and Jharkhand, the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Railway Police (GRP), and other law enforcement agencies have issued a joint alert regarding the activities of this highly organised group of professional pickpockets.
Members of the gang operate by blending into crowds at railway stations, marketplaces, and other busy public spaces in Chennai and other cities across India. Using distraction tactics and clever concealment methods, they steal mobile phones in seconds and vanish before the victim notices the theft.
