An officer from the Yavat police station said they got a tip-off that a gang was attempting to break into a jewellery shop at Pargaon. “By the time a team reached there, villagers had already gathered. They told us that four men were trying to open the shutter of the shop. On seeing local residents, they fled, leaving a stolen motorcycle,” the officer said.When the team began looking for them, the four, who were hiding behind the shop, started running, the police officer said. “The villagers chased and nabbed two of them. Sharp weapons and a pair of scissors were seized from the duo. We have ascertained the identity of their two accomplices. We will soon arrest them,” he said.The officer said prima facie investigations revealed that the gang was operating in different states.
