Acting on a tip-off that a gang of women burglars that had targetted their area in the months of June and July, were in the area, officials from Matunga police station nabbed the trio from Kamraj Nagar, Ghatkopar, recently. The accused were identified as Pooja Gupta (35), Anuj Prabhakar (26) and Tulsi Jadhav (25) and have been operating across Mumbai for the last five years.

Speaking to mid-day, Assistant Police Inspector Mukund Yadav from Matunga police station said, “Always well-dressed, the trio would walk into residential societies with their own children by their side to avoid suspicion. Once inside a building, they targetted top floor apartments to avoid attention. After selecting a flat, the women would break-in and decamp with whatever valuables they could lay their hands on.”
