Hyderabad: Two persons were arrested on Friday, May 23, for stealing gold and silver ornaments from a house in Shahalibanda. The theft occurred on May 19.

The accused were identified as Abdul Wasi, 41, a driver and resident of Bahadurpura and Mohammed Abdul Waheed, 41, a mobile technician and resident of Bandlaguda. Since their income was insufficient, the accused planned to commit theft.

Wasi and Waheed marked a house in Shahalibanda and traced the movements of the family for a while. The accused broke into the house and stole the ornaments from an almirah, which they broke open with rods.

The accused exchanged the gold ornaments for cash at a Muthoot Finance branch at Falaknuma. The victim, Mohammed Khalid, approached the Shahalibanda police and filed a complaint.
