Insider Theft: 31 Scooters Vanish from Honda Warehouse
25 Apr
Summary
- 31 Honda Activa scooters valued at Rs 23.25 lakh were stolen.
- The theft was masterminded by two insiders working at the warehouse.
- Stolen scooters were sold at heavily discounted prices in rural areas.
In a significant bust, Ahmedabad's Local Crime Branch (LCB) has dismantled a theft ring responsible for the disappearance of 31 Honda Activa scooters from a warehouse. The operation, led by insiders at the facility, resulted in the recovery of 26 scooters valued at Rs 23.25 lakh.
The scheme involved a warehouse employee who exploited showroom orders to dispatch additional vehicles. These scooters were then handed over to an accomplice who sold them in rural areas at reduced prices, claiming they were company-damaged. This allowed the accused to pocket substantial profits per vehicle.
Investigators are continuing their efforts to locate the remaining stolen motorcycles and identify all parties involved in the racket. Further inquiries are underway to ascertain the full extent of the operation and if additional individuals were part of the syndicate.
