Hyderabad: Footage from the CCTV cameras installed in residential areas in Uppal has helped police to identify and nab a chain snatcher on Tuesday. According to police, a woman K Rama from Uppal had lodged a complaint with the police on August 20, stating that she was robbed of her 3-tola gold chain by an unknown biker.
The police, as part of the investigation, collected footage from the CC cameras installed in the vicinity and made prints of the suspect who was seen moving on bike wearing a helmet. Photographs of the suspect were shared with all the police stations.
