3 sent to police custody for stealing ornaments

Mohali, October 22

The Dera Bassi police have arrested three persons on a charge of stealing jewellery from a locked house here.

The suspects have been identified as Shubam Kumar, Binder and Rinku, all residents of Deha Basti in Mirpur of the Dera Bassi block here. They were produced in a local court today, which sent them to two-day police custody.

Stolen items — a ‘mangal sutra’, a gold chain, two pairs of gold earrings, three pairs of silver anklets, a pair of bracelets and a silver coin — were recovered from them.

Dera Bassi DSP Gurbakshish Singh said all three confessed to have perpetrated the robbery in a locked house of Gold Palm Society on Wednesday.

On getting the information about the robbery, Dera Bassi SHO Satinder Singh had formed a police team, led by Mubarakpur SHO Arshdeep Singh, and a barricade was put up near the railway bridge in Mubarakpur on Thursday. On seeing the cops, the suspects tried to flee, but the police nabbed them after a brief chase, said the DSP. On frisking them, the police found stolen ornaments from them. — TNS
