Police in Mon, Nagaland have recovered several two-wheelers that were reported stolen from Assam, confirming the vehicles' return after a cross‑state theft.
Police officials in Mon, a town in Nagaland's Mon district, announced on Tuesday that they have retrieved a number of two‑wheelers that were reported missing from neighbouring Assam. The recovery follows a coordinated investigation after the thefts were reported in Assam's districts earlier this month.
According to the Nagaland police, the vehicles were found parked near a local market and were seized without resistance. The authorities are conducting forensic checks to trace the route taken by the thieves and to identify any accomplices.
The incident underscores the challenges of cross‑border vehicle thefts between Indian states and highlights the need for tighter inter‑state coordination among law‑enforcement agencies. The recovered two‑wheelers have been handed over to their rightful owners, and further legal action against the perpetrators is pending.
State police chiefs from both Assam and Nagaland have pledged to share intelligence and strengthen surveillance at state borders to curb similar incidents in the future.
