Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Nearly 60 per cent of the mobiles stolen from crowds, markets and auto rickshaws from the city are being sold in Bihar, Jharkhand and Gujarat.
Police Inspector Cidco Police Station Atul Yerme said that with the help of the Central Government's Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) website, police succeeded in finding 101 mobiles stolen or missing from city areas in three months.
He said that these mobiles were returned to the complainants on Tuesday. In the past few months, there has been an increase in cases of mobile phones being stolen and robbed in the city.
Often, the complaints of lost phones are reported to police stations. Sometimes, due to technical reasons or other reasons, it was challenging for the police to investigate a mobile theft case.
Because of the CEIR website, it has been possible to trace hundreds of stolen mobiles.
PI Atul Yermee issued instructions to launch a campaign to trace stolen mobile phones with the help of this website.
PSIs Anil Nanekar, Haridas Maidad and Subhash Shewale, constable Sahdev Sable, Mangesh Pawar, Vishal Sonawane, Pradeep Farkade and Amol Ambhore traced 101 mobile phones in three months and returned them to the complainants.
