Three members of a chain snatching gang, which had terrified residents with brazen attacks and robbing jewellery worth lakhs in mere one and half months, were arrested by Gurugram Police.

The prime accused, who was known to be the leader of the gang, identified as Shubham, was arrested. His associates were Ajay, a resident of Bihar, and Nav Kumar, a native of West Bengal, and the goldsmith of the gang, said police, reports PTI.

Nav Kumar had been operating a jewellery shop in Chakkarpur village for the last six months, and used to buy the snatched items from the gang.

The gang were codenamed as “Bullet” gang as its members went out hunting for victims on Bullet motorbikes.

According to ACP Crime Varun Dahiya, the Gurugram Police had been receiving complaints for the last one and half month about heavy built youths coming on Bullet in the East Zone and snatching gold items from unsuspecting people.

“The gang used to carry out crimes especially early in the morning, when people would go out for a walk. Women were their main targets,” Dahiya said.

The ACP said they have recovered Rs 1.27 lakh in cash, one gold chain, and one cylinder from their possession.
