Pune: The Talegaon MIDC police have arrested a 20-year-old repeat offender and detained his minor accomplice in connection with a robbery that occurred around 10 days ago. The incident involved theft of Rs22,000 in cash and a cellphone from a worker returning home after work. Police recovered some of the stolen money and the motorcycle used by the three suspects. The third suspect remains at large. The victim, a 25-year-old resident of Varale village in Maval, had filed a complaint with the Talegaon MIDC police on May 10. Sub-inspector Vivek Govarkar said the complainant had gone for catering work at Bhose village in Khed taluka on May 9. In the early hours of May 10, he was dropped off at Talegaon Chowk in Chakan by the caterer's vehicle. "While the victim was waiting for transport to reach home, the bike-borne suspects stopped near him around 1.30 am and offered him a lift. After driving for some distance, they stopped the motorcycle and assaulted the victim with a stone and forcibly took his cellphone's PIN and UPI password," he said. The next morning Rs22,000 was transferred from the victim's bank account to a UPI ID. "We traced the UPI account holder in Khed taluka and took Pankesh Jadhav (20) into custody.
