A 26-year-old man and his girlfriend were arrested in connection with snatching cases in west Delhi, police said on Tuesday.
According to police, the two used to target people in parks and bus stops.
The matter came to light when a person lodged a complaint in May, alleging that a bike-borne man, along with a woman, snatched his mobile phone, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Monika Bhardwaj said.
Based on a tip-off, police arrested Raju and his girlfriend Anjali (22) from Mayapuri on Monday.
The accused were involved in over 20 cases of snatching and robbery, the DCP said.
Anjali used to dress up as a male to conceal her identity, police said.
Four stolen mobile phones and a vehicle were recovered from their possession, they added.
