Bengaluru's CBD turns into mobile-snatching hub

Bengaluru | Friday | 12th July, 2019

Summary:

The CBD has become a hub of bike-borne youngsters who snatch mobiles, with an increasing number of incidents reported from the area. In a recent incident, miscreants snatched a mobile phone from 36-year-old Vasanth Vishnu B, a resident of Lavelle Road. At 9.05 pm, when he was near Rotary Building on Lavelle Road, two miscreants riding a Bajaj Pulsar robbed his mobile phone and escaped. In her complaint with the Ashok Nagar police, she said her bag contained a mobile phone, Rs 400 in cash and ID cards. We suspect the muggers are different people, as sometimes they use scooters, a Yamaha and sometimes a Bajaj Pulsar..
