Bike-Borne Looters Strike Repeatedly In Gwalior, Accused Still Untraced
· Free Press Journal
Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): A series of loot incidents allegedly carried out by criminals arriving from outside the city has emerged as a major challenge for the police in Gwalior. Despite three incidents being reported within 12 days, police have so far only managed to identify the escape routes used by the accused and have not arrested any suspects.
According to police sources, at least two of the incidents were carried out by the same gang, while the modus operandi used in the third case was also similar. Investigators suspect the accused enters the city, commits the crime and immediately flees through highway routes before police can establish barricades.

Officials said all three incidents indicate that the accused used city exit points and highways to escape. However, no concrete strategy has yet been implemented to seal the city borders or strengthen checks at entry and exit points.
