Cops informed that the boys would target the bikes having no handle locks.
“They don’t have any modus operandi. Never had they used any duplicate keys. Once at Chotta Tajbagh they found a bike of their interest having no handle locks kept in the parking. They flee with it and continued stealing others,” said police.
Police said that their parents told them that since their children were too young to drive a bike, they didn’t buy a bike for them. “The lure to have a bike of their own might have forced them to crime,” said police.
