Three young men were arrested in a late-night patrol, uncovering a motorbike theft spree across Ambegaon and Bharati Vidyapeeth. The police seized five stolen motorbikes, bringing relief to affected communities
Pune | 31 July, 2025: On the night of July 27, 2025, Pune’s Ambegaon Police Station team was patrolling near Jambhulwadi Lake when they spotted three suspicious individuals heading toward Ambegaon Gaytan. Acting on instinct, the officers stopped the trio and questioned them about their identities and intentions. The suspects, all from Khalad Ekhadpur in Purandar, Pune, were identified as young men aged 11 to 19, engaged in farming but now linked to a string of motorbike thefts. Their nervous responses during questioning raised red flags, prompting a deeper investigation that revealed their involvement in stealing motorbikes from Ambegaon and Bharati Vidyapeeth areas.
The police uncovered four theft cases tied to the group, registered under both Ambegaon and Bharati Vidyapeeth police stations. The cases, logged under Section 303(2) of the BNS, included one incident at Ambegaon (Crime Register No. 169/2025) and three at Bharati Vidyapeeth (Crime Register Nos. 270/2025, 356/2025, and 351/2025). Through swift action, the team recovered five motorbikes, including four stolen vehicles and one used by the suspects to carry out their crimes, valued collectively at ₹2 lakh. The seizure marked a significant breakthrough in curbing vehicle thefts that had unsettled local residents.
The operation was a testament to the vigilance of the Pune City Police, who have been working tirelessly to maintain safety and tackle crime in the region. The patrol team, led by experienced officers, acted on real-time instincts and thorough follow-up to dismantle this theft network. Their efforts not only recovered stolen property but also restored a sense of security for communities in Ambegaon and Bharati Vidyapeeth, where motorbike thefts had become a growing concern.
This bust highlights the challenges faced by Pune’s police in addressing petty crimes that disrupt daily life. Motorbikes, a common mode of transport for many in the city, are frequent targets for thieves due to their accessibility and resale value. The arrests send a strong message to would-be criminals that law enforcement remains proactive and alert. For residents, the recovery of the stolen bikes offers hope that their property can be protected through diligent policing.
The success of this operation was driven by a coordinated effort under the guidance of senior police officials, including the Commissioner, Joint Commissioner, and Deputy Commissioner of Pune City. The teamwork of inspectors, sub-inspectors, and constables, supported by the Cops 24 Marshal unit, showcased the strength of collaborative policing. As investigations continue, the police aim to uncover any additional links to the theft ring, ensuring that justice is served and the streets of Pune remain safe for all.
