Beware of Phone Snatching Gang at New Horizon College Busstop
My phone was stolen while exiting 500-CA Volvo BMTC bus. I immediately rushed home and locked it from my laptop. According to find my app, the phone is currently at Nagadevanahalli near NICE Road. I reported the incident at Marathahalli Police Station and it would seem there have been multiple incidents at New Horizon Bus Stop. It seems there is a phone snatching gang that is currently running since the 7th at least at. There mode of operation seems to be as below: 1. A huge crowd enters the bus at Kadubeesanahalli bus stop. 2. They will completely crowd the area around the door. 3. As you exit, a group will block you while someone steals the phone from your pocket. 4. If you realise that you lost your phone and try to re-enter the bus, someone will reply to you that a guy in a blue shirt took your phone. This is a ploy to make you exit the bus. I received two live location updates from my iPhone. At 10:04 am, they were still near New Horizon College. So, they seem to be operating around 8 am - 10:30 am. At 11:36 am, they had proceeded to Nagadevanahalli. This may be a ping during transit or maybe the final location. Marathahalli police station can’t do anything because it’s not under their jurisdiction. The Police suggested to call 112 to request them to investigate the location.3
