Four persons have been arrested on charges of conducting 22 robbery and house-break thefts in the district.
SP Prakash Nikam told presspersons on Monday that a team of Bhalki police had recovered 300 grams of gold and 350 grams of silver, Rs. 11,500 and a mobile phone from them.
They were active in the last two years. Their modus operandi was to enter houses wearing trunks and banians, their body covered in oil. They were good runners and escaped after looting. They not only looted locked houses, but also threatened the inmates in some houses. They targeted houses in villages and those near highways and railway lines.
“We were acting on a tip. We used some modern technological tools to zero in on the offenders,” the SP said. He congratulated the police team for the work.
The accused are Balraj Ramkishan Bhosle (25), his brother Ramdas Ramkishan Bhosle (19), both from Devla Tanda in Mukhed in Nanded district in Maharashtra, and Babu Hulla Pawar (60) and his wife Shobabai Babu Pawar (45).
