Delhi Police have arrested a married couple involved in stealing valuables from cars parked in upscale areas of the national capital.
Rakesh (23) and his wife Vajayinti (22), both residents of south Delhi's Madangir, were involved in several cases of stealing valuables from parked cars after smashing their windows, police said Monday.
The matter came to light on May 23 after police were informed about an incident on Ashoka Road where the window glass of a parked car was broken and one laptop, hard disk and other documents were stolen from the vehicle, police said.
