J'khand couple arrested for stealing gold ornament from S'garh shop
Rourkela: A Jharkhand-based couple was arrested on Saturday for stealing a gold ornament from a jewellery shop at Daily Market in Rajgangpur, Sundargarh district around five days ago.
The arrested couple was identified as Sonu Sinha (40) and Chandni Devi (30) of Kanke (Jharkhand).
According to the police, Chandni, along with her 11-year-old son, entered the jewellery store around 6:30pm on July 8 and asked the shopkeeper to show her a gold pendant and when the latter displayed a range of pendants in front of her, she picked up one of them discreetly and left the store. Later that day, the shopkeeper noticed that one of the pendants was missing.
He then lodged an FIR at Rajgangpur police station and subsequently, the couple was nabbed in Jharkhand.
Upon interrogation, Chandni confessed to the crime and said that her husband was waiting in a car outside the jewellery shop on July 8 when she went inside the store and stole the pendant.
"We are probing to find out if other persons were involved with the couple in the crime," M R Pradhan, inspector in-charge of Rajgangpur police station, said.
