Thieves who can get into suitcases

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: Watching 16-year-old Asif Mohd Kasim being yanked out of a rexine suitcase to safety, one would easily assume he was a hapless victim of an attempt to murder. But, as the police discovered, Kasim himself is a small-time thief.

“They would put him in a suitcase and load it into the bus and later he would get out and stash away jewellery, etc., from other people's suitcases into his own before getting back in,” explained Inspector Daulatrao More of Aurangabad’s Kanti Chowk police station.

On questioning Kasim, the police learnt that he and his accomplices were part of a gang that robbed people of their belongings in buses and got away by simply stashing one among them, with the booty, in the same suitcase.

Preliminary investigations reveal that the gang operates out of Delhi, Pune, Jaipur, Udaipur. Police now are on the lookout for the others.
