The Vizianagaram Police have successfully arrested a couple from Jharkhand, Saroj Sabar (26) and Neha Sabar (21), in connection with a robbery that occurred on December 24, 2024. The couple, who had been traveling the streets selling balloons, were found to have stolen nearly 200 grams of gold ornaments, valued at approximately Rs 3.60 lakh.
The crime was committed when the wife of a tailor, Kottakki Jaganmohanrao, left her house unattended to visit a nearby bangle shop. During her absence, an unidentified woman, later identified as Neha Sabar, entered the house and stole the gold ornaments. The robbery was reported to the One Town Police, and an investigation was launched.
After gathering information and examining previous cases, the police arrested the couple and recovered the stolen property. The couple had been involved in several similar crimes, including breaking into houses.
