Three Women From Madhya Pradesh Arrested In Mumbai Theft Spree
In Mumbai, a big city in India, police caught three women who they say were stealing from people.
The women came to Mumbai from a place called Madhya Pradesh.
They stole things in a busy shopping area called Andheri.
On the first day, they took a gold chain from a woman's purse.
The very next day, they took another purse that had money inside.
The police found them near a railway station and arrested them.
Police also found some of the stolen money and gold.
The three women worked together to trick people in crowded markets.
Police are now checking if they stole in other places too.
DN Nagar police arrested Sonam Baneri, Anmol Jagvir Singh Sisodia, and Shweta Sisodia for two thefts in Andheri within 48 hours of arriving in Mumbai.
The three women are from the same village in Rajgarh district, Madhya Pradesh, and allegedly travelled to Mumbai every few months.
On August 7, they allegedly stole a gold chain worth ₹3 lakh from the purse of Parijat Gawli at Jagruti Sweets in Andheri Market.
