Children have stolen jewellery and cash — with a total worth of Rs one lakh — in a broad daylight in two separate instances from Sarrafa market area in this district, police said. Two children entered into a jewellery shop and decamped with a golden necklace, worth Rs 55,000, even though several customers were present. However, they were caught in the act as a closed circuit television (CCTV) was installed at the shop. Similarly, three children snatched a customer’s bag — containing Rs 45,000 — in a nationalised bank.
Police hoped that their act would have been recorded in the bank’s CCTV. UNI
