DERA GHAZI KHAN: In a bid to curb the rising incidents of motorcycle thefts and armed snatching, the Dera Ghazi Khan police are set to meet officials from Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police. According to sources, the meeting will address the trafficking of stolen motorcycles from Dera Ghazi Khan to neighbouring regions. Sources said stolen motorbikes were transported and sold in the areas like Musakhel and Barkhan in Balochistan and Dera Ismail Khan in KP. Temporary markets in locations like Karkana reportedly facilitate these illegal sales, raising concerns over potential use of the vehicles in criminal activities. District Police Officer Syed Ali confirmed that a preliminary meeting will take place between sub-divisional police officers from Dera Ghazi Khan and counterparts from Barkhan, Musa Khail and Dera Ismail Khan. This will pave the way for a larger meeting among senior police officials to devise a joint strategy aimed at curbing the cross-border trafficking of stolen vehicles.
