Cyberabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar
The police officials, close on their heels, managed to nab one of the members and recovered stolen gold ornaments from his possession.
Outlining on the details of the case, Cyberabad Commissioner of Police V.C. Sajjanar said that the accused gang had been involved in more than 58 such offenses across the country and have maintained a similar modus operandi, while stealing ornaments in Hyderabad.
"They usually traverse through residential colonies and converse with women, especially those alone at home, requesting them to place their gold ornaments on the cash put forth by them. Terming their act as a 'sacred vow', they urge the unsuspecting women to fasten both cash and gold in a bag, saying it would augur well to the family. In this process, they escape with the gold," he maintained.
Sajjanar further urged the women not to fall prey to such antics and relay such information to the police.
