Two alleged mobile-snatchers were nabbed by one of their victims with the help of locals after a relentless search in Uttam Nagar-Vikaspuri area of west Delhi.
The incident took place on Tuesday evening when Sunil Aggarwal (24) was waiting for a friend in the local market at Uttam Nagar.
"Suddenly, two men on a motorcycle snatched his mobile phone in a flash. They then fled even as Aggarwal chased them. Another youth, identified as Sardar Jagbir Singh (26) joined the chase," a police official said.
The duo continued to search for the bikers and reached near Gujranwala Apartment in Vikaspuri area, where they spotted them snatching a mobile from a woman.
