An official told APP on Sunday that the action was carried out during routine patrolling and checking when several suspicious vehicles were intercepted. Verification of registration papers and number plates revealed that the vehicles had either been stolen from different cities or tampered with to conceal their actual identity.
The recovered vehicles included:

SHO Khanna Aamir Hayat told APP that the crackdown was a major blow to gangs involved in vehicle theft. “All recovered vehicles have been taken into police custody, and efforts are underway to arrest those responsible. No criminal, no matter how old the case, can escape the grip of law,” he added.
Police officials said such operations not only discourage criminal networks but also reinforce citizens’ trust in the police. They stressed that the recovery demonstrates ICT Police’s commitment to tracking long-pending cases and ensuring that no crime goes unnoticed.
