The Government Railway Police (GRP) on Sunday arrested a 30-year-old man for snatching 15 chains from commuters on the local train in the past two months. After the accused, Ibrahim Mohammed Hanif‘s arrest, the police have been able to recover six gold chains worth Rs2.30 lakh. Initially untraceable in Mumbai, a team of officials from the GRP crime branch, acting on a tip-off, nabbed him on Sunday. “Following his arrest, Hanif confessed to have snatched 15 chains,” said Santosh Dhanvate, senior police inspector of GRP crime branch. “He said has been snatching chains since the last four years,” said Dhanvate.
