In a major breakthrough, the Commissionerate Police busted an inter-state dacoit gang and arrested three of its members while seizing over 1 kg gold ornaments on Saturday.
As per reports, a special squad of the Commissionerate Police also seized over 1.5 kg silver ornaments and Rs 4 lakh cash from their possession.
For the last several days, the gang had been on a looting spree in various places of Bhubaneswar and posed a challenge to the police.
Following complaints, police were investigating these cases. A special squad was in pursuit of the robbers.
They were finally arrested and police took them to the crime spots and scene recreation.
Addressing a presser, Police Commissioner, Sanjeeb Panda said, "We have arrested three persons including a receiver on Saturday. They were involved in five sensational robbery cases in Bhubaneswar and four cases in Puri and Bhadark.”
They not only commit robberies but also commit planned loot/burglaries. ”They go to the places with full preparation. If something goes awry and they face obstructions, they get ready to attack,” Panda said.
