The city police have nabbed two inter-State burglars, who would allegedly travel to Bengaluru from West Bengal by flight with the sole purpose of breaking into homes. After targeting a few houses, they would return to their hometowns.
The police uncovered their modus operandi after probing a series of burglaries in Banaswadi and surrounding areas in East Bengaluru. They zeroed in on a few suspects using CCTV footage from the crime scenes and further technical investigation led them to West Bengal.
The police arrested Haridas Barai, 37, and Partha Haldar, 32, from West Bengal, and recovered 745 grams of gold ornaments from them. Haridas Barai had earlier been arrested by the Delhi and Telangana police for house burglaries. When he got out on bail, he started targeting Bengaluru, investigations revealed.
