KARACHI: In a significant breakthrough, the District Central Police conducted a successful raid late last night, busting an international syndicate involved in the smuggling of snatched mobile phones. The operation led to the arrest of five suspects, including two foreign nationals who were allegedly responsible for reprogramming the IMEI numbers of stolen devices.
During the press conference held this morning, the SSP Central revealed that 150 high-end smartphones, specialized software devices, and several laptops were recovered from the den. Preliminary investigations suggest that the gang was planning to smuggle the stolen goods across the border. The police are currently analyzing the data on the recovered phones to contact the original owners for the return of their property. This arrest is seen as a major win for the police in their ongoing battle against street crime in the metropolis.
