Tirupati cops crack Rs 1.5-crore mobile heist
TIRUPATI: In a dramatic six-day chase stretching across several States and closing in on the Bangladesh border, Tirupati police have busted an interstate gang involved in stealing high-end smartphones from large showrooms, and smuggling the booty across the international border.
The gang committed a film-style burglary at Sonovision Mobile Showroom on the AIR Bypass Road in Tirupati in the early hours of August 8 after drilling a hole through the wall. It decamped with 195 mobile phones and five Apple iPads worth around Rs 1.50 crore.
