Pune Police Bust Interstate Burglary Gang, Recover ₹37 Lakh Jewellery
Some thieves in Pune were breaking into houses at night and stealing gold and silver jewellery.
The police worked hard to catch them.
The thieves kept moving to different places so the police could not find them easily.
One thief even wore a wig and a mask to hide his face.
Police got helpful information from a person who knew about the thieves.
They found the thieves traveling in a car on a hill road in the Undri-Pisoli area.
The police surrounded the car and arrested all four people.
The police found jewellery worth about ₹37 lakh with them.
Because of this, the police were able to solve nine burglary cases in the city.
The thieves are now in police custody and can no longer break into homes.
Vishrambaug police arrested four accused in an interstate burglary gang targeting houses at night.
Police recovered gold and silver jewellery worth approximately ₹37 lakh from the suspects.
The arrests helped solve nine burglary cases in Pune, including six in Vishrambaug limits.
