In a significant breakthrough, police arrested five interstate burglars connected to a high-value jewellery workshop heist. The operation, which took place earlier this month, resulted in the recovery of gold, silver, and cash amounting to Rs 87.48 lakh, stated Superintendent of Police Hariram Shankar.
The apprehended individuals, residents of Solapur district, Maharashtra, include Shubham Tanaji Sathe (25), Praveen Appa Sathe (23), Nilesh Bapu Kasturi (19), Sagar Dattatreya Kandgale (32), and Rohit Shrimant Bhagav (25). Authorities discovered the group's involvement in the break-in at Vaibhav Gold and Silver Melting and Refinery on September 8, where they disabled CCTV systems to execute the theft.
A police task force pursued leads that led them to Nimhav in Solapur. There, the recovered stolen property and the vehicle linked to the crime were seized, all managed under the guidance of Inspector Manjunath V Badiger and SP Hariram Shankar.
