The Telangana police have arrested two members of 'Gora Sahan' gang, allegedly involved in burglaries across several states.
The arrested men were identified as Pappu Singh (36) and Dilip Singh (31), residents of Gora Sahan, Motihari, Bihar.
Karimnagar Police Commissioner V B Kamalasan Reddy said today that the gang targeted show-rooms of wrist watches and electronic goods, breaking into them at night.
Nine cases of burglary, suspected to be committed by the gang, have been reported in Telangana recently, he said.
The state police earlier this week sent a team to Gora Sahan village and arrested the duo, Reddy said.
The accused revealed during interrogation that most members of the gang were from the same village, and the gang had committed burglaries in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Karnataka, Odisha, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, stealing expensive watches of brands such as Rado, Longines and Rolex.
Police were looking for other members of the gang, he said.
