India Dec 12, 2025

Delhi Police busted a phone theft gang after several people lost their phones at AP Dhillon's concert on Sunday.
Officers recovered 40 high-end smartphones, including the latest iPhones, which were among the stolen items.

How the gang pulled it off—and what happened next

The group targeted crowded events and used distraction tricks to swipe devices, even wrapping iPhones in foil to dodge tracking.
Acting on a tip, police stopped their car near Yamuna Vihar Metro and arrested four men from Ghaziabad.
The gang had been active for months around Delhi-NCR and smuggled stolen phones out to Bangladesh and Nepal, selling others quickly in local gray markets.
