The Malad police took the aid of closed-circuit camera footage from a restaurant to nab two chain-snatchers recently. The duo, Akram Ansari (23) and Ashraf Syed (22), had robbed an elderly woman of her gold necklace at Malad West.
Diana D'Souza, the complainant, was walking down to Orlem Church with her 20-year-old daughter on Sunday morning. Around 10 am, D'Souza (51) and her daughter had reached the traffic signal at Mith Chowky on their way to church. They were crossing the road when Akram and Ashraf rode up on a Bajaj Discover bike. One of the men snatched D'Souza's chain. The accused-duo fled before D'Souza or her daughter could raise an alarm. D'Souza later lodged a complaint with the Malad police.
"Unknown to the accused, the closed-circuit cameras installed at a nearby restaurant had captured the entire incident. A shopkeeper had also noted down the registration number of the Bajaj Discover bike," a police official said. Based on the CCTV footage and details provided by eyewitnesses, the Malad police nabbed Akram and Ashraf on Monday. They were produced before a metropolitan court for remand.
