A 30-year-old man was arrested for a series of chain-snatchings in local trains in February 2019. He told cops he needed the money to splurge on his gay partners. The police said the accused used to dress up like a corporate employee and steal gold chains of fellow commuters. The team caught him and handed him over to the Andheri GRP. Sub-inspector Vilas Gadve said he then confessed to committing at least 10 chain snatchings on WR and had even been convicted of the crime seven years ago. He was released on bail back then.
