Five people were arrested from Dhule and Nandurbar districts by Mumbai police for allegedly stealing a pick-up mini-truck and selling it as scrap, said an official on Tuesday.
They had stolen a Mahindra Bolero from Western Express Highway in December, a Dahisar police station official said.
"The CCTV footage of the area was checked and we found a white car tailing the Bolero. The owner of this white car told us it was being driven by a man identified as Abdul Momin Sheikh on the intervening night of December 29-30," he said.
Shaikh was held and his questioning led to the arrest of Wasim Shaikh (32), Salim Shah (35), Rizwan Teli (22) and Karimuddin Khan (20).
"The five took the pick-up vehicle to Dhule and sold it part by part to a scrap dealer in Nandurbar. We also found parts of a vehicle stolen from Vile Parle in the Nandurbar shop. The five have offences of this nature against their names in MIDC, Vile Parle and other Mumbai police stations," he informed.
