Jagtial: Jagtial police have arrested three persons, who allegedly broke into the Kondagattu Anjaneya Swamy temple late on Thursday night and fled with 15 kilograms of silver.

Cops, who recovered eight kilograms of silver from the arrested persons, are reportedly searching for two more suspects. Since the accused had a previous history of burglary, their details were recorded in the Crime Records Bureau, which helped the police to crack the case on fast track mode.

It is learnt that the accused, who were natives of a thanda near Narayankhed of erstwhile Medak district, were taking shelter in Bidar after burglaries in different places of Telangana.

Police are likely to produce the accused before the media very soon.
