The kingpin Vinoth Kumar is a native of Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu – a state in southern India with its capital city Chennai. Kumar would lead a luxurious lifestyle and would take flights to return to Tamil Nadu to sell laptops there. He would dispose of mobile phones in Nehru place market of New Delhi.
Recently, Japanese executive Go Kawamura was robbed of his laptop, mobile phone and important documents on Delhi-Jaipur highway when he was on his way back from the company’s plant in industrial township Bawal. The miscreants struck when the car he was riding with the driver got flat tyres. As the driver was busy changing the tyre and Go Kawamura went to an eatery to fetch something for him leaving his bag on the rear seat of the car.
The gang had been was operating in Gurugram for the last several years. He was arrested from MG Road when he was about to break the glass window of a parked car, his aides managed to flee from the spot when the police team raided, said police officials.
Kumar is a history-sheeter and involved in the crime for the last 10 years and was arrested for laptop thefts and recently came out on bail, said police.
The police said this gang was involved in a spate of thefts. They would use slingshots to break the car windows and flee with laptop bags, money, and other valuables.
Kumar along with his accomplices used to target cars parked on the main road outside the mall or near markets in which bags were kept. They used to break the windows with the help of slingshots and steal the bags.
The gang members lived in a rented accommodation in Delhi and used to come to the city either by a cab or on a metro.
Two of the gang members used to take rounds of the targeted area and used to inform Vinoth following which he would visit the spot. After taking away the bag they used to visit an isolated spot and threw unnecessary stuff and used to shift the stuff to a bag which they carried with themselves. The mastermind used to board a metro and return to Delhi.
The police are interrogating the accused and said he has confessed to one recent incident where they had approached a woman who had parked her car on MG Road. One of them had knocked on her window and told her that oil from her car was leaking. The woman got off to check when the other gang members opened the door of the back seat and stole a bag containing ornaments and cash.
I wish Delhi police will show same alertness and speed in catching thieves and snatched a in d.c chowk area in rohini .
