The Odiansalai Police recently made significant strides in addressing the growing issue of mobile snatching in public spaces, particularly around tourist hotspots. Four suspects were arrested in connection with three cases of mobile snatching that took place at busy gathering points. The arrested individuals are believed to have been targeting tourists, taking advantage of crowded areas to snatch phones and escape before the victims could react.
The police have been vigilant in conducting patrolling operations and increasing surveillance around high-traffic tourist spots to curb such crimes. This operation underscores the Puducherry Police’s commitment to ensuring safety in public spaces, especially in areas frequented by tourists, which are often prime targets for criminals. Further investigations are being carried out to link the suspects to any other related crimes in the region.
