After spotting a bike matching the descriptio­n given by the woman, the police nabbed the duo and informed the Dahisar police station as the crime had took place in their jurisdicti­on.

Upon frisking the duo were found to be in the possession of a high-end mobile. They confessed to the both the thefts which they had committed on the bike which was also stolen from the Tulinj area in Palghar.
