[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Car-lifters last year stole 271 vehicles in different parts of Kashmir capital Srinagar.
Out of 271 stolen vehicles, Srinagar police managed to recover 69 stolen vehicles. The data provided by Srinagar police reveals that 202 stolen vehicles are still missing.

Car lifters have stolen the vehicles mostly at those places where CCTV cameras have not been installed. Police sources said that CCTV footage helps police to zero in on the thieves while in the absence of any footage, it takes time to apprehend the criminals.
Data shows that from 2020 till 2021 ending motor vehicle thefts have doubled, however, there was a slight dip in 2022.
The last three years’ data from 2020 to 2022 reveals that car lifters managed to steal 657 vehicles across Srinagar city out of which Srinagar police have recovered 199 vehicles and 458 vehicles are still missing. (KNT)

The official said that a slight negligence on their part will cost them their hard-earned money and ornaments.
He said people should help the police by cooperating to prevent thefts, especially those that occur during the day.

Also, jewelry must be kept safe in the bank and only those required for daily use can be kept at home,” the official said adding that people should inform the concerned police station if they find suspects roaming in their areas.
