bike theft on the rise: cops clueless
Datia: Increasing number of bike thefts has put the cops on the toes, but the police failed to reach any conclusion till date. Surprisingly police have failed to trace vehicle lifters who have stolen 155 two-wheelers in the past five years. In the past years 155 motorbikes were stolen and surprisingly the police have not been able to trace even one percent of the stolen motorbikes which raises suspicion over the functioning of the police in tracking and nabbing the vehicle lifters. In the year 2012, 54 motorbikes were stolen, in the year 2013, 29 motorbikes were stolen, in the year 2014, 47 motorbikes were stolen and in the year 2015 from January to July 25 motorbikes were stolen. The increasing trend of motorbike thefts has been witnessed in the past few years and the reason behind it is the stealing of the motorbikes is easier due to which school students of class X and above are found involved in stealing motorbikes.
