Shankar Rao, a farmer and resident of Sakipalli in Srikakulam district, had come to Visakhapatnam to pledge the gold as he was in need of money. As he alighted from bus, Ravi snatched the bag and ran away. However, Shankar Rao did not book a complaint then.
On November 27 this year, Shankar Rao had come to Visakhapatnam and saw the accused loitering around the RTC Complex. On recognising him, Shankar Rao booked a complaint. After tracking the accused, the CCS team arrested him near Chavulamadum junction on Friday.
In another case, the CCS team arrested A. Gowri for barging into a house and robbing gold ornaments weighing 50 gm after threatening a 74-year-old woman.
