The Fort police on Tuesday arrested two persons in connection with the alleged theft of 87.5 sovereigns of gold from a house at Manacaud a few days ago.
The accused were identified as Shafeeq, 33, of Vallakkadavu in Nedumangad and Beemakannu of Kottoor.
The alleged burglary took place on July 6 after the residents of the house had gone on a pilgrimage to Thiruchendur. They apparently left soon after an ‘upanayanam’ ceremony for which they had taken the gold ornaments from their bank locker.
