PUNE: Two bike-borne men snatched a gold chain worth Rs1.4 lakh of a pillion rider on another motorcycle on Thursday night opposite the Christian cemetery on the Pune-Solapur Road. The Wanowrie police registered an FIR on Friday.
“The woman’s husband was riding the bike. The couple were on their way home in Hadapsar, via the Fatimanagar Chowk. Two bike-borne men came from the rear and the pillion rider snatched the woman’s chain and they fled,” senior inspector Deepak Lagad said.
After the woman raised an alarm, her husband picked up speed and chased the duo up to a distance of two minutes, but he stopped after the suspects picked up speed and fled in the direction of Hadapsar. “We are working on certain clues to arrest the duo at the earliest,” he said.
