The Delhi Police has busted a gang of alleged inter-state auto lifters and seized over 35 stolen vehicles, including cars and bikes.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Seju P Kurvilla said the four-member gang was busted near Sultanpuri bus terminal on Thursday.
Shalim (23), a resident of Sambhal, Noshad (25), Shanu (26) and Shah Aalam (22) residents of Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh were arrested while they were travelling on a goods carrier with three stolen bikes, the deputy commissioner said in a release.
Acting on a tip-off, the cops had barricaded the Sultanpuri bus terminal area and the suspects were apprehended while trying to escape leaving the vehicles behind, police said.
