Kolkata, January 3 Nine members of a gang, involved in several theft cases around the city, were arrested by the detective department of the Kolkata Police on Thursday.

“The gang, which comprised of men from Bangalore and Chennai, had set up base in Kharagpur. They will be produced in court tomorrow,” said Jawed Shamim, Deputy Commissioner of detective department.

The gang had a local contact, Dore Mudalia, in Bandel with whose help they operated in the city.

Another associate of the gang, Rafiq Ansari, has also been arrested.

NSCs worth Rs 93,000 and Rs 27,000 in cash and a laptop were recovered from the gang.

According to the police, the gang’s modus operandi was to distract the owners and make away with their belongings.

On December 28, the gang had lifted a suitcase containing Rs 40,000 in cash and NSCs at Peerless Hotel in New Market area.

On the same day, the gang robbed a man of his laptop in Rash Behari Avenue area after distracting him.

Two cases were registered in this connection at the respective police stations on January 1.
