Be careful about renting out your cars to make an extra buck. The Nalasopara police have arrested a gang of robbers who used to take cars from people on the pretext of renting them out to corporates, but later either mortgaging or selling them. The incident came to light when a 37-year-old woman became the victim of this fraud. The woman had given her car to the travel company of the accused so that they could rent it out, but they sold it instead. She registered a complaint with the Nalasopara police station on December 30 last year. Last week, they arrested two men. Officers managed to recover more than 40 cars from the accused.
