The Goa Police reportedly cracked the kidnapping and robbing case of a bank at Keri within 24 hours and arrested three of the five accused involved in the crime.
The police have managed to recover most of the robbed cash and gold from the accused. Eight teams of police from both the districts gathered technical and local intelligence and managed to make the arrests.
However two of the accused are still at large. In another case two Bangladeshi nationals involved in the theft of ATMs of two banks at Ponda were arrested by the police from their hideout in Andhra Pradesh.
Police are reportedly on a hot pursuit of four more accused involved in the theft case. The Goa police need to be commended for the task that was accomplished in both the cases after putting in tremendous efforts.
It must be said that the police force can do wonders in cracking a case if given a free hand and without any political interference. While solving complicated cases in quick time and arresting the culprits it is also important to prevent crime.
Preventing a crime could be considered difficult as the police cannot be at all places all the time. Hence preventive-arrests of anti-social elements, after gathering intelligence reports, assume significance.
Extensive interrogation of those detained can lead to arrest of more criminals. As they say goes ‘prevention is better than cure’.
