Hoshiarpur, September 13

Two mobile phone snatchers jumped off a police vehicle and fled. Residents of Tajpur Kalan village, near Hariana town here, nabbed them and handed them over to the police. Later, en route to the police station they jumped off the police vehicle and escaped. A case has been registered against the suspects.

On September 11, two snatchers armed with sharp weapons robbed two persons of their mobile phones. Last evening, when they were riding a without number plate bike, one of the victims recognised them and informed Tajpur Kalan residents, who after a chase nabbed them. A sharp weapon, intoxicating capsules and syringes were recovered from them. Hariana police reached the spot and Tajpur Kalan residents handed them over to the police. But before the police party could reach the police station, they jumped off the police vehicle.
