The Pattinapakkam police arrested two persons, including a juvenile, for stealing a cellphone from a food delivery person in Adyar on Saturday.

A police official said D. Devi, of Mylapore, worked as a food delivery agent. When Devi was working on Saturday, the two accused, who came on a two-wheeler, snatched her mobile phone and fled. A few persons gave chase on their two-wheelers and caught the duo near Kasturba Nagar 2nd Street in Adyar.

Later, they were handed over to the police, who seized the two-wheeler and their mobile phones. They later produced one of the accused, Sanjay of Walltax Road, before a judicial magistrate and sent the 17-year-old juvenile to an observation home.
