In an unusual response to police probe and pressure, a group of women thieves wanted in connection with the theft of silk sarees from shops, sent all the stolen sarees as ‘parcels’ to the police station concerned.@Selvaraj_Crime pic.twitter.com/0m0YjjdyKT

The video clip shows three women forming a row, while one woman took the sarees from the table and tucked them in between her thighs. Later she moved on, while the other women followed her and escaped.
