Thane Police Arrests Four Gang Members, Solve 29 Criminal Cases
The Thane police caught a group of four people from two gangs who were doing bad things.
These gangs were stealing things like jewelry, cars, and breaking into houses.
They caused trouble for people in Thane and near Mumbai for about eight months.
The police caught them after watching them carefully and found a lot of stolen stuff, worth over 36 lakh rupees.
The police think there might be even more crimes they did, so they are still looking into it.
The gangs would often steal from elderly women who were wearing gold jewelry.
Now the police are trying to figure out if these gangs are connected to other criminals too.
