Using latest information technology tools, the Prakasam police have achieved a breakthrough in a series of property offences and nabbed a five-member gang of thieves hailing from Karnataka.
The police recovered gold ornaments worth ₹12.50 lakh from them, Superintendent of Police Malika Garg told the media here on Saturday.
Police were initially clueless, as the offenders had left no evidences at the two houses they had struck in Ongole II Town police station limits. Persistent probe by a police team led by Ongole Deputy Superintendent of Police U. Nagaraju, led to obtaining crucial leads in a series of house break-in cases by night with the help of IT core team, which analysed call data records and scanned CCTV footage at the railway station.
