As the suspects were leaving the house, local residents reportedly became suspicious and attempted to stop them. Police said the accused allegedly brandished knives in an effort to intimidate the crowd and escape.
Despite the threat, residents managed to overpower and detain two juvenile suspects before handing them over to the police. However, two other accomplices escaped with the stolen property.
Koradi Police have registered a case of housebreaking, theft and offences under the Arms Act. Efforts are underway to trace the absconding accused and recover the stolen valuables.
The release of the detained juveniles after completion of legal formalities has reportedly sparked resentment among some residents, who have demanded strict action against all those involved in the crime.
