Chain Stolen
A thief stole the gold chain of an elderly woman at a bus stop in front of the CMCH, by tricking her and promising to get her a bus pass, based on an “identification number”, which he said was present in the chain.
Police said, the victim, M Meenakshi(65) of Pachapalayam had come to the hospital to visit a patient. While she was at a bus stop, an unidentified man met her and said, he would procure a bus pass for her but needed to check her chain as it had an “identification code,” needed for the pass. Meenakshi gave the chain to the man, who then fled. Based on her complaint, the police registered a case.
