This one is straight out of the movies. In order to nab two accused who had stolen Rs 3 lakh from a Mumbai resident, personnel from the JJ Marg police station assumed the garb of delivery executives and sanitation workers and lay in wait for nearly six hours for the accused to show up.

The police said that the accused, Shajid Sheikh, 55, and Shehbaz Hafiz, 35, had offered to sell one kilogram of gold to Swapnil Lahore, 23, for Rs 3 lakh. However, when he turned up for the exchange on December 19, the duo grabbed the money and fled the scene.
