The main accused, Steve Jason (19) and a Child in Conflict with Law (CCL), along with Vemula Sai Santhosh (19) and Orsu Ganesh alias Ghani (19) who were receivers, were arrested. Jason had a previous case in Gopalapuram and both him and CCL had dropped out of intermediate school.
The group stole bikes and snatched mobile phones to cover their expenses. They would then sell the stolen mobile phones to Santhosh and Ganesh. On June 25 at 11:30 pm, they snatched a mobile phone from a cab driver who was waiting for a passenger at St Ann’s High School in Secunderabad.
The complainant was standing beside his car looking at his phone when the thieves approached him on a bike and took his mobile phone before fleeing the scene.
