The Mumbai police have arrested two workmen from Gujarat for allegedly stealing gold ornaments from the home of a city-based businessman, which they were renovating, an official said.

The police on September 27 nabbed Dilip Parmar and Pankaj Kumar Meena, who were working in the complainant's apartment in the western suburb of Kandivli, the official said.

As the renovation work was underway, the businessman had shifted to another flat along with his family, he said. The complainant had left behind the keys to a locker in his flat, which the accused came to know and during the course of their work, they stole valuables from it, the official said.

The duo travelled to their hometown in Gujarat and buried the stolen valuables in a pit, he said, adding that the accused returned to Mumbai and completed their work at the complainant's flat. The family found out about the theft after moving back to their apartment, following which a police complaint was registered, the official said.
