An accused, who was on the run for over an year, has been arrested in connection with a Rs 11 lakh robbery case, police said today.
Sleuths of the crime branch of Thane Police apprehended Ashish Devre (27), a resident of Ambernath on Wednesday, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Mukund Hatote.
"On July 16, 2016, Devre and his aid had allegedly attacked a wine shop manager and his associate while they were going to Diva station and decamped with Rs 11 lakh cash," the officer said.
According to Hatote, a case under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code was registered against Devre.
