Thane: The Mumbra police have arrested three people including a woman for cash theft of 10 lakh from her sister's house in Thane. The police said the complainant kept the cash at her house to purchase a flat, after the accused sister and her husband came to know about it, they planned a theft. The police with the help of CCTV footage and technical details arrested the three accused including a couple and their uncle.

The police said the complainant identified as Rehana Akram Khan (38), is a resident of Nadeem apartment, Mumbra Devi road, Mumbra. Rehana sold a flat and received Rs 10.85 lakhs, which she kept in her locker in the bedroom. On September 4, a house breaking-in and theft took place at her residence. However, she then approached the police and registered a case at Mumbra police station on September 6, under section 454 (Lurking house-trespass or house-breaking to commit an offense punishable with imprisonment) and 380 (punishment for theft) of the Indian penal code.
