The police have arrested two teenagers involved in a snatching case from May 27. The suspects, Ajay (18) from Jujhar Nagar, Mohali, and Brijesh (18) from Kajehri, Sector 52, were caught after Mohd Umar, a 19-year-old resident of Kachi Colony, Dhanas, reported the crime. Umar said he was attacked by the two boys while taking a bath in Gwala Colony, Maloya. The assailants snatched his mobile phone, ₹350 in cash, and his spectacles. Umar's cries for help alerted a passer-by, who called the police. A PCR vehicle quickly arrived and took Umar to GMSH, Sector 16, for treatment.
During the investigation, police recovered the stolen mobile phone, the weapon and motorcycle used in the crime, a sword, and clothes belonging to Umar from the suspects.
