Four persons held on charge of snatching chains

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Four persons have been arrested on the charge of snatching chains from women in different parts of the city during the past one year.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, West Zone DCP Amit Garg said in the first case the Jubilee Hills police arrested G. Prabhu Das (19) and G. Ram Babu (23). Their accomplice P. Rambabu (22) is still at large.

Modus operandi

Their modus operandi was that one would snatch the chain and flee while the others would mislead passers-by acting as if they were chasing him.

This way the trio managed to escape after snatching chains at three different places. The trio also took away a mobile phone and a pair of earrings after breaking into a house at Borabanda in S.R. Nagar two weeks ago, he said.

Two others, Mohd. Ghouse Moinuddin and Sachin, were arrested on the charge of snatching away a gold chain from a woman while she stood at the bus stop near Peddamma temple in Jubilee Hills in February last.

All worth Rs. 1.40 lakhs

Police recovered gold ornaments weighing 15 tolas and a mobile phone, all worth Rs. 1.40 lakhs, from the four arrested.
