ITANAGAR : Six people, including two minors, were arrested after 11 stolen two-wheelers were recovered from their possession in Itanagar, police said.

The operation was conducted in the Nirjuli area near here following an investigation into a theft case, Itanagar Capital Region Naharlagun Superintendent of Police (SP) Nyelam Nega said on Monday.

Two dedicated investigation teams led by Sub-Inspector Topi Josam and Sub-Inspector Gopal Tok carried out coordinated field operations, technical surveillance, and intelligence gathering to trace the accused and recover the vehicles, a police statement said.

The overall operation was supervised by Assistant Superintendent of Police Rishi Longdo and Nirjuli Police Station officer-in-charge Inspector Tadu Hassang, it said.

The SP has urged the general public to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions while parking their vehicles, especially at night.
