Hyderabad: The Meerpet police on Thursday arrested two persons including an engineering student on charges of robberies and chain snatching. Police recovered gold ornaments worth Rs 4.1 lakh from K Narsingh alias Nari (25), a resident of Hasthinapuram and his cousin Vignesh (19), a resident of Balapur. According to police, the duo turned to crime to make money for an extravagant lifestyle, and targeted elderly women and women walking alone in secluded lanes of residential colonies. “Depending upon the situation, they either snatch chains or commit robberies. They sell the ornaments and share the money,” an official said. Following a complaint from a woman, the police booked a case and with the help of CCTV footage, identified and arrested them.
