There may not be many cases of theft of cars that are reported in Goa. However, there is definitely a rise in the number of thefts of parts of the cars taking place in the state.
It is learnt that the police on Sunday busted a gang of thieves from Mumbai who targeted high-end stereo systems from cars. These car stereos do cost a lot.
The gang has reportedly committed 16 thefts over the past three days and police recovered stolen items worth Rs 15 lakh. There could be more gangs operating in the state who steal parts of cars that are parked outside during the night.
It is understood that thieves also steal the silencers of cars. These silencers can be easily removed as they are on the outside of the vehicle. The metal dust found in the silencers can be sold for a high price.
Just like the Goa police have busted the gang involved in stealing high-end car stereos for which they need to be complimented, the police also needs to bust the gang which is involved in the theft of car silencers.
