SHO Alam did not corroborate media reports that the suspects were involved in 200 cases registered at different cop shoppes in the metropolis.
He said that the matter was being probed and that their victims had been called to identify the suspects.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) East Zone Amir Farooqi told Dawn that the three had also been arrested by Aziz Bhatti and New Town police respectively in the recent past when they were found involved in snatching cash from people drawing money from ATMs.
