Five members of a gang that looted a truck loaded with electronic goods nearly two months ago have been arrested, police said today.
The police has also recovered electronic goods worth Rs 20 lakh along with the vehicles used during the loot, they said.
The looters belong to 'Sahun' gang and were apprehended by the police near Gokul restaurant near Sikandara area on Sunday.
"Looted truck, car used during loot along with electronic goods worth Rs 20 lakh were recovered from the dairy of accused Rahul," said Superintendent of Police Alok Priyadarshi.
"Four other members of Sahun gang have also been arrested," he added.
The gang members arrested are Lokesh Gupta, Raju alias Manoj Bhadoria, Ishendra alias Swadesh Chauhan, Gaurav Gupta and Rahul Gupta.
One of the gang members Ashu Tomar, however, managed to dodge the police.
On May 10, a truck containing electronic goods worth Rs 50 lakh headed for Nagpur from Delhi was looted.
"The bandits forced the truck to stop after overtaking it near village Nari falling under Chhatta police station of Mathura. The driver and cleaner were tied up and waylaid in Aligarh where the case had been registered," said Priyadarshi.
The gang had earlier sold the electronic items in Mainpuri and then in Agra.
According to police, the gang members were nabbed when they were looking for customers to sell rest of the goods in Mathura.
