The city police have busted a gang of three women from Mumbai, who posed as domestic help and stole valuables from the houses where they worked.
The gang, arrested and wanted in several cases in Mumbai, had recently shifted their operation to Bengaluru and had used social media platforms to make inroads into the city.
Aravind, a resident of Hennur, lodged a complaint on May 6 that a domestic help, Subbalakshmi, hailing from Dakshina Kannada district, had joined work at their house and within three days, she fled stealing 250 grams gold jewellery and 100 grams of silver coins.
