Jamshedpur, Jan 25 (PTI) A gang of robbers was busted on Tuesday with the arrest of its four members, including a minor, for allegedly stealing 35 mobile phones from the busy Sakchi market here, a police officer said. The gang from Sahibganj district had engaged the minor in robbing people of their mobile phones, the officer said.

Addressing a press conference here, Gupta said a special police team was constituted on the directive of Senior Superintendent of Police, Dr. M Tamil Vanan, to bust the gang given the increasing incidents of mobile theft.

The accused had stolen the 35 mobile phones in the last ten days from Sakchi market and its vicinity, Gupta said. Three persons, besides the minor, were arrested in connection with the crime.
