A total of 117 mobile phones of various brands have been recovered and seized during an operation conducted in Dhaka by Cyber and Special Crime (North) Division of the Detective Branch (DB) under Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
The DB has urged owners of lost or stolen phones to match their phone’s IMEI number against the list of recovered handsets.
This information was disclosed in a press release sent by the DMP on Thursday.
The press release said as part of an investigation into a case filed with Shahbagh Police Station, the Organised Crime Investigation Team of DB Cyber and Special Crime (North) Division recovered and seized the 117 mobile phones of different brands.
The recovered handsets include various brands such as Samsung, Vivo, Redmi, Realme, Oppo, Tecno, Itel, Infinix, Huawei, and iPhone. IMEI numbers for multiple phones are provided in the list, while it was noted that several phones do not have IMEI numbers listed.
Additionally, a locked iPhone 13 and a Realme phone with broken display glass are also included in the list.
