Police bust interstate syndicate involved in stealing mobile tower equipment

The Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted an interstate syndicate involved in stealing critical mobile tower equipment and illegally exporting it abroad.

The police have recovered 130 high-value Radio Remote Units (RRUs) worth nearly Rs 2 crore in the crackdown. The accused were allegedly planning to ship the stolen telecom hardware to Dubai after falsely declaring it as scrap. Police said each RRU costs around Rs 1.5 lakh and is a crucial component installed on mobile towers to transmit radio signals. Their theft forces telecom companies to reinstall equipment, leading to service outages and financial strain.
