In a brazen daylight incident, a masked thief on a motorcycle infiltrated SKS School in Simhachalam, Visakhapatnam, snatching a gold necklace.
Riding a black Royal Enfield motorcycle, the perpetrator quietly approached the Sai Baba Temple in Pedagadde. Despite the presence of a security guard, the thief went unnoticed, using a lock cutter to seize the gold chai valued at Rs. 1,00,000/- around 11:30 AM. Promptly addressing the alert, the Visakhapatnam crime police registered a case under Cr. No.302/2023 U/s 382 IPC.
IPS officers K. Viranivasarao and D. Gangadharam, alongside Commissioner of Police and DCP Zone-1 & CCS, Mr Imranuval Raju, directed law enforcement efforts.
