Tehran police arrest burglars and recover 10 billion tomans in stolen goods

Tehran police have dismantled a professional burglary ring responsible for multiple residential thefts across southeastern Tehran. Following a robbery involving the theft of a service weapon, ammunition, and cash, investigators identified two suspects through specialized forensic techniques.

The suspects confessed to participating in seven additional residential burglaries. During a raid on their hideout, authorities seized a Browning pistol with 19 combat rounds. The total value of the recovered stolen property is estimated at approximately 10 billion tomans. The suspects have been transferred to prison pending legal proceedings.

In separate recent operations, Tehran law enforcement reported several other criminal arrests, including individuals involved in park robberies via sedation, vehicle contents theft in Naziaabad, power cable theft on Khayyam Street, and a three-person gang that stole 5 billion tomans worth of corporate property.
