The Old Goa police have solved two house burglaries at Rambhuvan Wada in Cumbarjua and arrested three persons in this connection and recovered gold and other items worth Rs 2 lakh.
The accused have been identified as Gautam Fadte (21), Nikhil Paagi (25) and Rafique Nadaf (19).
According to information available with The Goan, the two burglaries are reported to have taken place last week but the Old Goa police began investigations only on Tuesday, the day the cases were registered.
A team led by PSI Viraj Dhawaskar along with constables Ritesh Gawas, Sameer Fadte and Shanu Rawat was formed under the supervision of PI Krishna Sinari.
Upon investigation, the team learnt that one of the suspects was related to both the families and he was picked up for interrogation, during which he confessed to being part of one of the crimes and also named the others involved.
Accordingly, the police picked up the other two accused and placed them under arrest while also recovering gold and other items worth Rs 2 lakh.
“Gautam Fadte is the main culprit and he is involved in both the crimes while Nikhil Paagi and Rafique Nadaf are involved only in one,” the police stated, adding that the accused were produced in the court which granted them one day police custody.
PSI Viraj Dhawaskar and PSI Sudin Redkar are the investigating officers in the two cases.
