Stolen Two-Wheelers, Quick Justice: Inside Thoubal’s Vehicle Theft Crackdown

Short Summary


Police in Thoubal district, Manipur, conducted two separate operations within 36 hours, arresting three individuals for vehicle theft and recovering two stolen motorcycles. The first raid, based on a tip-off near Kaleikhong Oil Pump in Lilong, led to the arrest of Md. Achouba (19) and Md Abdul Razak alias Churanthaba (20), with one Royal Enfield Guerilla recovered. A second operation by Khongjom Police resulted in the arrest of Makakmayum Abdul Wahid (34) and the recovery of a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 (registration MN04G 6586) along with an LL key set. The suspects remain in police custody while investigations continue.


Introduction: When Crime Meets Consequence

Ever had your heart sink after finding your bike—a trusty companion—gone missing? That’s the exact jolt the Thoubal community experienced this week. But here’s the silver lining: swift police action led to three arrests and two bikes recovered. Let’s ride through the full story, weaving both the factual details and the bigger picture.


1. What Went Down: A Tale of Two Raids

It all kicked off with a tip-off—sometimes, a small lead can unlock big results. A Lilong Police team, acting on that intel, raided a spot near the Kaleikhong Oil Pump in Lilong. Their search paid off: two young men, Md. Achouba (19) and Md Abdul Razak alias Churanthaba (20), were caught red-handed with a stolen Royal Enfield Guerilla motorcycle. That was bust number one.

Not long after, another raid by Khongjom Police nabbed Makakmayum Abdul Wahid (34) between Sora and Khongjom. He was found with a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 (registration MN04G 6586) and a suspicious LL key set. Two stolen motorbikes, two busts—just over a day’s work for the cops.


2. Meet the Suspects: Who Are They?

  • Md. Achouba, 19, from Lilong Sirinthong
  • Md Abdul Razak (aka Churanthaba), 20, from Lilong Makha Leikai
  • Makakmayum Abdul Wahid, 34, from Lilong Ushoipokpi Tharaorok

What drives someone to steal? It’s often more than a thrill—financial stress, peer pressure, or lurking racket networks. But now, they’re behind bars with serious questions to answer.


3. The Bikes of Infamy: Royal Enfield Guerilla & Continental GT 650

Both stolen and recovered vehicles are Royal Enfields—Indian icons with solid resale value:

  1. Royal Enfield Guerilla – a rugged, stripped-down model
  2. Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 – classic café racer style, reg. MN04G 6586

These aren’t just bikes; they’re brands with demand—easy to sell in dark corners, hard to trace. Recovery is a win in more ways than one.


Final Thoughts: More Than Just Bikes

This story isn’t just about two recovered bikes—it’s about trust restored, justice delivered, and crime curtailed. It shows how community, police, and quick action can turn the tide.
