Aizawl, a hotspot for Myanmar bike lifters

Aizawl, Oct 30 (UNI) Aizawl that borders Myanmar has become a hotspot for its bike lifters as made-in-India bikes such as Bajaj Pulsar are in great demand in the neighbouring country.

Aizawl police, who recovered stolen Pulsar and Yamaha R15 being carried to Myanmar yesterday, said this was only a tip of the iceberg.

As complains of missing bikes keep pouring in the Aizawl police stations, a good number of bikes with Mizoram registration numbers were reportedly seen in Myanmar towns bordering Mizoram,police added. Meanwhile three Myanmarese were arrested along with an Indian driver who transported the stolen bikes yesterday.

Police intercepted the thieves near Seling town, about 40 kms from here when they were evidently heading for Myanmar. This was not for the first time police intercepted stolen bikes being carried to Myanmar.
