A con couple, seemingly inspired by the 2005 Bollywood movie Bunty aur Babli, are on the run with their 10-year-old son after robbing one of their neighbours in Kopar village of around Rs 13 lakh. The police have learnt that the duo, identified as Navnit and Sunita Naik, never stay at one place on rent for more than 20 days, where in the meantime, they establish a relationship with their neighbours so they can eventually loot them.

The Saphale police had been looking for the couple in another case of theft that occurred under their jurisdiction, where they'd stolen valuables worth Rs 8 lakh. On Friday, they'd put up posters asking for information on them, when they got a call from Kopar about a house being robbed of around Rs 13 lakh, allegedly by the Naiks.
