Mumbai Crime: Courier boy arrested for fleeing with jewellery

An officer of the Crime Branch said that when Saya took the parcel, he opened it and was lured by seeing the jewels. What he thought was gold ornaments, was in fact silver, plated with a layer of gold. The total cost of the jewellery seized from Saya was estimated to be around Rs 1,43,000.

A team, consisting of constables Hriday Mishra and Sonawane led by API Santosh Salunkhe was formed to arrest Saya. "We've arrested the accused from near his house at Amba pada near Pathan wadi, Malad and seized the stolen jewellery and handed the accused over to the Malabar Hill police," Sanjay Nikumbhe, Senior Police Inspector of Unit 2, told mid-day.
