Vapi citizens steal gold worth 15 lakhs from Mumbai’s Vile Parle station
Cops zero in on the charged thanks to CCTV video and arrest them in their city; the two had robbed a motorcycle at Mira Road to pull off the stealing near Vile Parle station.
Over the previous few years, a growth in the number of robbers coming to Mumbai from other states, mainly from Gujarat, has been observed by the cops.
One such issue was seen in Vile Parle, where two robbers from Vapi, Bhaumik Trivedi, 38, and Shahid Kapadia, 34, were seized after stealing a gold chain from the neck of a 68-year-old Vile Parle resident on the night of April 3.
With the help of CCTV video, the police caught the two this week.
