Kolkata: A first-year college student from Ultadanga was arrested by Tala Police for allegedly stealing premium smartphones worth Rs 2 lakh from delivery parcels of an e-commerce company. He had been working night shifts in the company’s storage section to pay for his college expenses. Cops said stole the devices on the nights of July 8, 9 and 10. The theft was discovered after customers complained of receiving empty parcels. Company officials caught him when he came for work on Saturday and handed him over to police. During questioning, he confessed and said he had sold an iPhone to a friend for Rs 35,000. Cops seized two phones from a cupboard at his house and are trying to recover the third.
