Both are unemployed. To make their marriage successful, the two started targeting locked flats and houses. The man’s friend later joined them,” Ghadge told TOI.“The couple and their accomplice used to wear face masks to conceal their identities,” he said.“After tracking their movements in a residential building, our team kept watch near the building and later spotted the woman and two others there. We then rounded them up,” he said.“The couple and their accomplice moved around Pune city in public transport buses and looked for locked flats or houses. As they moved around as a family, residents of residential societies and security guards did not question them much, and they took advantage of this,” he added.
