PASIGHAT, Jun 20: The East Siang District Police has arrested 3 persons in connection with several burglary cases in the district in recent time and most of the stolen items were recovered.
Speaking to this reporter, Superintendent of Police, East Siang Sumit Kumar Jha said, " In the last 2-3 weeks several burglaries were reported from Pasighat Township specially from the High Region area.Thereafter, a comprehensive and elaborate plan was prepared to prevent further such crimes and to detect the already registered cases."
Jha further added, three persons have been arrested in this regard who were actively involved in committing the crime and in posession of stolen booty.
They all have a history of drug addiction. 3 arrested are Taro Hamam (18), Karik Jamoh (30) and Raja Tayeng (18), informed an official.
Their modus operandi was to target those dwelling places which were left unattended both during day or night. They would keep the transportation ready for lifting and dropping of stolen goods. And within one or two days they sold off such items among general public at throw-away prices, added the police official.
During investigation it was found that many people bought stolen items from burglars despite knowing the fact that they were stolen which is also a crime, informed Superintendent of Police East Siang District, Sumit Kumar Jha.
"Hence it's my appeal to the general public, whenever they come across such person who is selling stolen goods, the matter should be reported to police instead of buying those goods. Also, if you are going out of your home for a few days and keeping your home unattended, kindly inform your neighbours or police so that we will keep a watch", added Jha.
Items recovered-TV Sets, Laptops, Mobiles, Sound System, valuable local ornaments and local costumes, gas cylinders, kitchen utensils, household items, scooty,digital camera etc.
