This has helped the police in nabbing vehicles with fake registration numbers. Resultantly 124 stolen vehicles have been recovered using this technology/system.

The general public has been requested to install safety alarm system and safety gadgets in their vehicles. Awareness campaign, through beat officers and member of the citizen Security & Vigilance Committee to invite the attention of general public for installation of alarm systems within their vehicles, has been launched to sensitize the public. Pamphlets containing preventive measures/instructions have been distributed amongst the general public.

(3) Nakas at all important entry and exit points have been established and the officers have been directed to keep an eye over suspicious person/vehicles to prevent car theft. Patrolling has been enhanced and the officers have been directed to conduct surprise checking at various Nakas as a preventive measure.

(5) At peculiar places, i.e. FGS Hospital, CDA Hospital, Chairman CDA Office etc., a chit system has been introduced within the parking areas to prevent car theft. (6) Police personnel in Civvies have also been deployed in different Sector to keep watch over suspicious persons/vehicles and informers have also been deployed for the same purpose.

(7) All SHOs were further directed to take preventive action against all the Vagabonds loitering in the areas under section 55/109 Cr.P.C.

(8) The list of the previous convicts of car theft have been prepared and distributed amongst all quarters concerned to interrogate them during investigation of car theft cases.
