Two friends who came upon success stories of chain snatching on the internet and learned the trade through YouTube tutorials were arrested for a series of burglaries at Pattabiram.

The accused were Jenuson, 25, a Sri Lankan, and Pradeep, 26, of Padappai. Police said the duo were stopped during a vehicle check on Tuesday night and during questioning, police learned that the two were behind a series of robberies reported in Avadi and Tirunindravur and a few house break-ins as well. A two-wheeler and 15 sovereigns of gold jewellery were seized from them. “The two watched You-Tube videos on how to carry out burglaries and trained themselves to commite the crime,” a police officer said.

During questioning, police came to know that Jenuson was a Sri Lanka national. On information, Q branch police also reached the Pattabiram police station and conducted inquiries with Jenuson. Police said all of Jenuson’s were valid and he was handed over to the Pattabiram police. The friends were produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.
