<![CDATA[HYDERABAD: After a month long investigation, Banjara Hills police have arrested a chain-snatcher who was targeting women going for a walk to KBR Park and recovered 25 tola stolen booty. Police have arrested N Narsaiah alias Narsimha, 25, a car driver from Karmika Nagar in Yousufguda, who had committed seven chain snatching offences at KBR Park in the past one year and created panic among women walkers. In fact, the series of offences committed by Narsaiah prompted police to install 64 high definition CCTV cameras around the KBR park in April 2017. However, even after their installation, Narsaiah committed two more offences at the KBR park. Based on the description given by the victims, police prepared a sketch of Narsaiah and circulated it widely in the area."He was aware of CCTV cameras and took precautions not to move in the place under CCTV coverage. He also did not use cell phone at the time of committing snatching offences and entered the park by crossing the fencing at some vulnerable places. He used to hide in the bushes and target women walking alone," DCP , West Zone, A Venkateswara Rao said. Finally cops in plainclothes were deployed to nab the offender. On Tuesday , some walkers alerted police about the man with features matching the sketch, moving suspiciously . A police team immediately reached the park and nabbed Narsaiah. "Initially, he tried to mislead our men by claiming that he was an engineering student, but later during interrogation, confessed to have committed seven chain snatching offences at the park," the DCP said. The culprit had disposed of stolen gold with receiver, P Satyanarayana Chary , a goldsmith from Karmika Nagar. Based on the information, police also arrested Chary and recovered 25 tola stolen gold from his possession.]]>
