Police action: 250 motorcycles returned to owners

KARACHI: The Anti-Car Lifting Cell (ACLC) handed over on Saturday as many as 250 motorcycles to their actual owners. ACLC had announced that at least 750 snatched motorcycles will be returned to their owners on Saturday.

The owners were asked to bring their original documents to get back their vehicles. "So far, we have handed over nearly 250 motorcycles to their real owners as the verification of the documents takes time," said ACLC chief Manzur Ali Khatiyan.

These vehicles were snatched and stolen from various parts of the city by different motorcycle lifting groups and later recovered in various raids by the ACLC police.

Despite the ongoing Karachi operation, law enforcers remain unable to control the frequent incidents of vehicle lifting across the city as more than 21,498 two-wheelers were snatched and stolen last year.
