Hyderabad: A habitual cell phone-snatching duo was arrested by the commissioner’s Taskforce (East) and Kachiguda police on Monday.
Accused Arfaz alias Chora, a petty vendor from Balapur, along with his associate, Chakali Karthik was arrested and five cell phones were seized from their possession.
The accused Arfaz, a school dropout, was a welding worker at Karmanghat who started committing cell phone theft owing to his habit of consuming alcohol and ganja.
According to the police, “As a minor offender, Arfaz was sent to a juvenile home earlier, but he relapsed into the behaviour post-release.”
The duo allegedly committed theft of a motorcycle in Meerpet police limits and had been using it in committing crimes.
While Karthik rode the bike, Arfaz who was a pillion snatched the cell phones.
The accused committed five such offences, including an attention-diversion method, in the limits of Afzalgunj, Abids, Kachiguda, Meerpet and LB Nagar.
