The Thane police have arrested four people, including two from Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly stealing goods from international consignments, an official said on Wednesday. The accused allegedly stole from consignments of bed sheets dispatched in two containers in October, 2020 to companies in the US and Canada, deputy commissioner of police Bhiwandi Yogesh Chavan said.
The accused, who were transporting the consignments to Nhava Sheva port in Navi Mumbai, stole some of the goods en route and sold them elsewhere, the official said. The theft came to light when the companies found that they were short of goods worth '1.26 crore and raised the issue with the supplier and manufacturer, it was stated. An offence was then registered with the Narpoli police in this regard.
A similar theft had taken place when a consignment of bed sheets sent to the US from Andheri in November, 2020, in which goods worth '1.15 crore were stolen. Instead of bed sheets the consignee had received huge stones in the containers, the official said.
