The City police asked the owners of the mobile phone shops not to purchase cell phones without bills, particularly from “unknown and suspicious” persons.
“If any such persons come to shop, the owners should inform immediately to the local police station immediately,” said S
Rashmi Perumal, DCP Task Force.
The Task Force on Wednesday, May 22, arrested nine persons including four juveniles and receivers of stolen phones. The police recovered three mobile phones that were snatched away from people at Neredmet, Trimulgherry and Monda Market police station limits.
