Two days after a dumper truck was stolen from a petrol pump at Biharbari in Guwahati, the vehicle was recovered today near Nongpoh. One person has been arrested in connection with the theft.
The truck (AS 01 EC 3181) belongs to one Dip Sharma and was stolen in the wee hours of Wednesday morning when it was parked at Biharbari, Guwahati.
The owner filed an FIR and CCTV footage from the toll plaza on National Highway 6 revealed that the truck passed through the area at around 4am yesterday.
The vehicle was then spotted crossing Nongpoh and was stopped at a petrol pump outside the district headquarters. One person was arrested.
Either this person and/or his accomplices had placed a duplicate licence plate (ML 12 1242) on the truck but failed to get away with the deception.
