Chandigarh: The police have arrested a vehicle thief and recovered four two-wheelers.
The police said the suspect, Manmohan Sharma (27), a native of Nahan in Himachal Pradesh, was arrested at a naka near the petrol station at Sector 39 while riding a stolen Pulsar motorcycle.
The police found that it was stolen from Mauli Jagran and the suspect had affixed a fake number on it. The interrogation of the suspect led to the recovery of three more two-wheelers, which were stolen from different parts of the city.
