The accused would park the automobile outside societies, near hospitals, and other places where CCTV cameras were not placed after taking it. The accused subsequently sold the stolen cars in Rajasthan and Meerut for a high price.
Three individuals, inspired by the Hollywood film ‘Fast and Furious,’ stole 40 luxury cars from around Delhi-NCR over the course of a month, using a variety of high-tech devices such as GPS jammers, scanners, and remote-control cars, and sold them for a profit. Earlier in the day, the trio was apprehended.
The males, one of whom is from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, are reported to be members of the ‘Ravi Uttam Nagar gang,’ according to police.
“The accused were inspired by the Hollywood film ‘The Fast and the Furious,’ and utilised scanners to unlock the cars in minutes, then used a jammer to deactivate the GPS placed in the automobiles,” said Manoj C, deputy commissioner of police.
They were found with several tools, including a sensor kit, magnet, LNT keys, and eight remote car keys, in addition to two firearms.
“The accused disclosed that by using a software-based hacking device, they unlocked cars and after formatting the vehicle’s software, installed new software with the help of the device. The new keys became ready and they stole the cars within two to three minutes,” the DCP said.
They positioned the automobile outside societies, near hospitals, and other places where CCTV cameras were not installed after stealing it. The accused subsequently sold the stolen cars in Rajasthan and Meerut for a high price.
Manish Rao (42) and Jagdeep Sharma (43) and Aas Mohammad (43) are the accused (40). Mohammad is from Meerut, while Rao and Sharma are from Uttam Nagar in Delhi.
When Rao and Sharma arrived to make a transaction for a car stolen from the Paschim Vihar neighbourhood, they were apprehended.
Since April, the defendants claim to have stolen 40 cars from Uttam Nagar, Tilak Nagar, Subash Nagar, Pashim Vihar, Munirka, and Dwarka.
