A 13-year-old Std VIII student has been caught by the Trombay police for stealing four two-wheelers from the area in order to 'impress' his many 'girlfriends'. The police said the boy also stole petrol from other bikes to fuel the ones he stole. Traffic constable Narayan Gadekar, 47, attached to Bandra traffic division, caught the boy at the Bandra Highway signal on Sunday. The boy was with his girlfriend and he was returning home from Bandstand on the stolen bike. Police said the boy used to steal bikes using the master key of his bicycle.

Gadekar told mid-day, "On Sunday evening, I was on duty at the signal and I stopped a boy on an Activa for breaking the signal and riding without a helmet. I asked for his licence but he said he had forgotted it at home, which is near the police chowkie at Bandra. I could see he was trying to escape and stopped him and clicked his photographs."
