In lightning-fast response, the Delhi Police managed to trace the stolen mobile phone of a Brazilian couple within an hour.

The incident took place outside the Akshardham temple on Tuesday when the couple — Peitro Gustavo Robin and his wife Jersey Robin — was clicking selfies with their iPhone 6 plus using a selfie stick.

“While the couple was clicking pictures, a boy aged approximately 8 years snatched their selfie stick along with the mobile phone and fled,”a police officer said. As per the couple’s statement, they ran after the minor for almost a kilometer but he disappeared in the slums of Shashi Garden.

“After frantically looking for the child in the slums, they decided to alert the police. Jersey stood at the entry point of the slum cluster, while Peitro returned to Akshardham to call for help,” police said.

The police immediately formed several teams and managed to recover the phone within an hour. “We have apprehended the minor and the phone has been recovered. The couple seemed happy,”a police officer said.

Meanwhile, other not-so-lucky phone users have complained about the police’s inactivity. Shikha Vermani, a marketing professional, said her new I-phone 7 was stolen  while she was commuting on the yellow line of the Delhi Metro. The Yamuna Bank police reportedly told her that they were not going to invest time in tracing her phone.

“It was a brand new phone. I was shocked at the audacity of the police personnel, who told me to get an NCR issued for the device, as they could not waste their time looking for the phone. They told me they get hundreds of such complaints every day,” she said.
