A 35-year-old woman, facing charges under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA), has been arrested by the city police.
Sakina Jan Sayyed, resident of Ambivili in Kalyan tehsil of the district, was wanted in a case of robbery registered at Narpoli police station in Bhiwandi in 2016.
She was finally traced and arrested by Crime Unit I of Thane city police Tuesday, said senior inspector Nitin Thakre.
Police had also slapped charges under the MCOCA against her for allegedly being part of an organized crime syndicate.
The crime branch had received a tip-off that Sayyed was going to visit a place near NRC Gates near Kalyan and arrested her, he said.
She was handed over to Narpoli police, he added.
