According to spokesperson, Superintendent of Police Naresh Raj Subedi, 303 two-wheelers have been traced and returned to their owners so far this fiscal year. Thirty-four people have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in motorcycle theft and sent to the district police office for further investigation.
