Hyderabad: Cyberabad police arrested a seven-member gang which was stealing vehicles and selling them. Police also seized goods worth '1.5 crore from them. The suspects are Syed Iqbal, K. Narsimha, B. Venkatesh, Syed Khaja Pasha, Ramesh Kumar Maniar, Mohammed Zameer and Mohammed Abdul.

Cyberabad joint CP Shahnawaz Qasim said the gang stole parked lorries. The stolen vehicles were brought to a farmhouse in Thondupally from where the gang used to operate. The place was covered with huge asbestos sheets and signboards to dupe the police.

The kingpin, Mohammad Abdul Raheem alias Hassan, who also owns the farmhouse is absconding. “He purchased the farmhouse. The engines and other parts were sold in neighbouring states," the joint CP said.
