Lifter, Mohammad Imran, used to wait outside banks or markets in Delhi to identify his favourite drive and then steal them with a master key. He stole more than 500 vehicles from Delhi alone. He was caught, on Tuesday, when he was fleeing with a stolen motorcycle via Ghazipur Road, during a regular vehicle check. From the past nine years, he had been evading arrest, said cops. He used to unlock a vehicle within 20 seconds, informed the police. Imran used to come to Delhi or Ghaziabad by bus from Meerut and go back home on the stolen wheels. What's more?
