Ghaziabad, April 23 (IANS) Five armed robbers broke into the house of a retired college principal in Indirapuram area here early Monday and decamped with cash and jewellery worth more than Rs.10 lakhs. Police arrested one of the miscreants and recovered the entire booty a few hours after the incident.

 

The five robbers belonging to a gang in Madhya Pradesh scaled the walls of the house of Dr. Sukhvir Singh, a retired principal of S.D. Post Graduate College here, and broke open the locked room of his son, who was in Pune, SSP Prashant Kumar said at a press conference.

After the robbers left, Singh informed the police control room. The police, while conducting the search of vehicles in the wee hours, noticed a suspicious person.
