Two persons were arrested today and gold ornaments weighing 6.5 kg and five kg of silver stolen by
them from a pawn broker’s shop near Ilayankudi in this district seized, police said.
Police said they zeroed in on the two after studying the footage on the CCTV camera installed in a shop at
Tiruchirappalli which they attempted to burgle.
The two, Raja and Manoharan, were engaged in stealing scrap iron from factories and selling them.
Raja came to know from his lover that the pawn broker’s shop at Salaigramam had a lot of gold and silver and hatched a plan with Manoharan to rob it on March 9, police said.
