MARDAN: Police on Monday busted a seven-member gang which used to swindle passengers of cash, ornaments and other valuables during commute via a Qingqi rickshaw.
District Police Officer Sajjad Khan told reporters that the gang, comprising four men and three women, used to loot passengers and they used three-wheelers for the purpose. “During interrogations, the gangsters disclosed that when passengers would commute in their three-wheelers, they would imitate vomiting, prompting the [unaware] passengers to help them, and in the meanwhile, they would pick money or other valuables from their pockets,” he added. He said the investigation led the police team to lay hand on three women named Hajira, Sartaj, Nazia, residents of Nowshera district, and driver Fayaz, who confessed to have committed the thefts in the garb of commuting. “The police recovered the three-wheeler used by the gang and Rs60,000 cash stolen from passengers. The arrestees also divulged the names of their other accomplices, for whose arrest the police are conducting raids,” he added.
