The Western Railway RPF team on Sunday caught five mobile thieves on one day from trains and railway premises in the Mumbai division.

Installation of CCTV cameras at stations along the suburban section has helped a lot in identifying suspects and improving prevention and detection of cases. The suspects’ movements were mapped, traced and tracked with the help of CCTV footage, a Western Railway spokesperson said in a report. At least 2,729 new CCTV cameras have been added to the suburban network between Churchgate and Virar.
