In a significant breakthrough, police in Maharashtra's Thane district have reportedly solved a burglary case. Law enforcement officials confirmed the arrest of three individuals and the recovery of stolen valuables worth Rs 7.3 lakh.

The incident took place on April 16, when an unidentified person broke into a house in Kalyan, making off with gold and silver items valued at Rs 12.69 lakh. The case was initially registered at the Mahatma Phule Chowk Police Station, where CCTV footage revealed suspects arriving on a scooty.
