KARACHI: Police have arrested a member of the “White Corolla Gang” —accused on being involved in multiple robberies — in a raid carried out in the city's Clifton on Sunday, confirmed SSP Investigations Bashir Brohi.
According to police, the accused, identified as Umair, was arrested with the help of a CCTV footage from a house where the gang committed a robbery and came to know about his whereabouts from a tip they received.
