The suspects, Ashraf alias Achho and Asif, are accused of leading a gang of thieves that committed many robberies in Karachi’s posh area.<\/p>\n
Ahmed Chaudhry, superintendent of Police (SP) Clifton, said the three robbers from the Achho gang are allegedly most wanted by the police, according to ARY News.<\/p>\n
The police found a significant amount of jewellery and other expensive things during the operation, totalling millions of dollars.<\/p>\n
The tools used in the thefts were also seized from the accused by the police.<\/p>\n
Clifton SP asserted that the gang consisted of three members and one of their accomplices, Khurshid, was already serving time in jail for his involvement in similar crimes.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the police official added that the gang had been active in robberies for nearly 16 years, causing significant losses to the residents of the area, ARY News reported.<\/p>\n
