Three teenagers, including two Delhi University (DU) students, have been arrested for allegedly carrying out thefts at residences of two police officers in the high-security Chanakyapuri.
According to the police, the accused broke into the houses, when the policemen were out of station, and decamped with gold jewellery, two laptops and mobile phones.
Out on family trip
The mastermind behind the robberies was 19-year-old Rahul Sharma, a Delhi University student.
The other two arrested were identified as DU student Shravan Kumar Bharti, and Yogesh Verma — a driver.
Police said that Rahul lived in the diplomatic enclave and knew that the owners were away on a family trip.
It was Rahul who hatched a plan to commit the robberies with the help of Shravan and Yogesh, they added.
During investigation of the robbery, police got a tip-off and put Rahul under surveillance and apprehended him.
When he was interrogated, Rahul confessed to the crime and gave up the name of the other two accused.
A case has been registered against the three accused under Sections 380 (theft) and 457 (house trespass) of the Indian Penal Code, said a statement by the police.
