Two members of a gang, including the kingpin, who used to target female students of Mithibhai College and steal their wallets, cash or mobile phones from their backpacks, have been arrested by the Juhu police. A student of pharmacy from Mithibhai College had registered an FIR at Juhu police station after she noticed that her handbag that contained Rs 3,000 in cash, an ATM card and pen drive was missing from her backpack.

"We scrutinised CCTV cameras installed at the crime spot and saw a group of four thieves, including a minor, following the victim. Three of them covered the kingpin, who discreetly unzipped the victim's backpack, lifted the handbag from inside and escaped with the others from the spot," said an officer privy to the investigation.
