Mumbai police utilized cutting-edge AI technology, CCTV cameras, and drones to thwart mobile theft incidents during the Ganpati immersion festivities at Girgaon Chowpatty. A swarm of 162 mobile phones were reported stolen on Anant Chaturdashi, but AI-driven surveillance and aerial drones proved instrumental in identifying and apprehending a GRP history-sheeter involved in these crimes.
In a striking contrast to last year, where four chain-snatching cases were registered, police reported only one such incident this year. The deployment of advanced surveillance equipment, including 100 CCTV cameras and three drones, allowed authorities to closely monitor the mammoth crowd while simultaneously deterring criminal activities.
The police have managed to recover 23 stolen phones, while three adult accused and four juveniles have been arrested, including Anand Kamble, Pawan Patankar, and three others from Jharkhand. Among the juveniles, two individuals aged 16 and 17 have been apprehended in connection with the theft cases, both reportedly from the Grant Road area.
The DB Marg Police are continuing their investigation to identify additional suspects involved in these mobile theft incidents and recover more stolen devices.
