“The cops usually do not ask bikers with children to stop at snap-checking spots, easily allowing us the cover to shift the stolen vehicle,” Naeem said during initial investigations as police said that they had recovered auto parts of 30 vehicles from his possession.
The police later handed over the child to the family after scolding him over the act while the father would be booked in motorcycle theft cases.
