The Thane Police have a new T20 game plan to curb crime. The force recently had a good innings against chain-snatching incidents after they prepared a Top 20 list of chain-snatchers to keep tabs on. Now, the cops hope that the same idea will also curb serious crime across the city. The top brass has ordered police stations across Thane to prepare a list of the top 20 criminals in their jurisdiction, and each criminal will be allotted to a constable, who will keep track of their activity.
