A robber swiftly switched his attire, probably inspired by movies, after snatching a chain from an unsuspecting woman, and was confident that his ploy would evade being identified by the police. However, his hopes were belied as the police were able to identify him from his shoes, which he didn’t bother to change. The police were not only able to identify the robber, they had him arrested within 12 hours of the incident.
The Kandivli police have arrested 30-year-old Nilesh Valmiki for allegedly snatching a gold chain from the neck of a 45-year-old woman at New Link Road near Dhanukarwadi Metro station on Saturday evening. The victim, Anit Fulsamkar, a resident of the Shiv Krupa building in Dahanukarwadi, Kandivli West, was walking home from the 90 Feet Fish Market around 9.30 pm when the accused approached from behind, snatched her 12gm gold chain worth Rs. 40,000 and fled.
