Two nabbed for chain snatching in Faridabad

A team of the crime branch of the Faridabad police has arrested two men for chain snatching and recovered a gold chain from them.

A woman from Sector 29, Faridabad, had lodged a complaint at the Sector 28 police station, stating that she was standing outside the house with her domestic help when two motorcycle-borne youths snatched her gold chain along with the locket and fled the spot. The local police had registered a case against unidentified persons.

During the interrogation, it was found that Akshay is a drug addict. He already has five cases registered against him under the Arms Act and mobile phone snatching incidents. Nitesh drives an auto-rickshaw.

The police produced both the accused in the court, from where they were sent to judicial custody.
