Couple arrested for cheating

By Our Staff Reporter

NAMAKKAL, MAY 19 . A couple who had been lifting jewellery by sedating people in the region for some time now were arrested by the Pallipalayam police today.

Police said that Manohari and Raja, both belonging to Salem, used to approach identified house owners seeking houses for rent.

Subsequently, on the pretext of conducting a house warming ceremony, they used to mix sedatives with milk and serve the house owners and once they swooned, relieve them of the jewels they wore.

A total of nine cases were said to be pending against them for similar offences in Erode, Pallipalayam, Komarapalayam and Tiruchengode areas.

The police remanded them to 15 days custody.

As many as 150 sovereigns of gold jewellery were recovered from them. Further investigations were under way.
