<b>KARACHI: The Anti-Car Lifting Cell has busted an inter-provincial gang and arrested five of its men, including three police personnel.</b>

DIG Investigations Zone II Mir Zubair said at a press conference on Tuesday that an ACLC police team had arrested five people during checking at the Moro bypass. They were in two cars (AKJ-625 and AKJ-878) which were snatched from Gizri and Shahra-e-Noor-Jahan police limits. <b>The arrested men were identified as Abdul Razzaq, Lutfullah and three policemen Sub Inspector Farooq-e-Azam of Gadap police station, Head Constable Sanaullah and Constable Danal Khan from Kotri police station.</b>

The men belonged to an organized car-lifting gang that would take the cars to the interior of Sindh and Balochistan. Zubair said that the policemen involved in the car jacking would use their official positions to move stolen or snatched vehicles from Karachi.

A clean car would precede the stolen car and warn the sub inspector escorting the stolen vehicle if there was any police checking ahead. They would stay in touch over the cell phone.

The policemen would keep the car’s original license plate, install flashing lights and thus if they were stopped at any check post they would say that they were taking a recovered car.

The gang would then hand over the stolen car to dealers Master Aslam and Javed Osta in Sukkur. They would be paid Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000 depending on the type of car.

Promotions have been announced for constables Ali Mohammad and Mohammad Muqeem who played an active role in the police raid.
