Chain snatching incidents have become a growing concern in recent times, with criminals targeting unsuspecting individuals and fleeing with their valuable belongings. It is essential for law enforcement agencies to be vigilant and proactive in apprehending these criminals to curb the rising crime rates.

Take was apprehended for robbing a 65-year-old woman’s gold chain worth Rs 33,000 in Sangamner. This arrest is a significant achievement for the police, as Take has 29 cases of robberies and attempted murder registered against him in Ahmednagar and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The police identified Take through CCTV footage and apprehended him at Chandani Chowk, Ahmednagar. However, Take’s associate, Rajendra Chavan, managed to escape with the bike. Take confessed to the robbery and revealed that the gold chain was sold in Rahata.

In another recent incident, the Gangapur police in Nashik arrested two chain snatchers who confessed to committing five chain robberies in the city.
