As many as 122 mobile phones that were either missing or stolen were recovered by the Villupuram district police and handed over to the owners on Tuesday.
According to a press release, a team of Cyber Crime wing personnel recovered the missing phones by tracking the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Once the person gives a complaint, the team keeps tracking the phone using the IMEI number.
“We get an alert if someone inserts a SIM card and starts using it”, a police officer said.
Superintendent of Police G. Shashank Sai handed over the phones to the respective owners at his office.
