ISLAMABAD: The National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) on Tuesday recovered a stolen car and handed it over to its owner.

The motorway police had received information that a Toyota Corolla (AUD-553) had been stolen from within the remits of Tarnol police station in Islamabad.

After a few minutes, a Motorway police patrol spotted a similar car on Motorway (M-1) near Rashakari violating lane rules.
