Interstate Thieves Arrested for Targeting Exam Candidates
Some thieves were caught after they stole things from people taking exams.
They would steal from cars parked outside the test centers.
One teacher lost money and a card, and the thieves used the card to take even more money.
The police found that this was happening a lot and caught the thieves.
The thieves were from other states and stole almost a million rupees worth of stuff, like money and gift cards.
They targeted exam centers, because people taking tests would be inside for a long time.
