 JOWAI: Jaintia Hills police on Thursday arrested three car lifters from Lumshnong along with two vehicles.

According to sources, police personnel during a routine checking came across a vehicle (AS04P-1091) and during verification of documents pertaining to this vehicle it was found that the number plate did not match with the number written in the registration card.
