Colonel Detective Sami Khorshad, head of the Mazandaran police, announced the arrest of a professional gang involved in the theft of women's gold in this province. This gang targeted women at business meetings using a specific pattern. The suspects, appearing trustworthy and gaining the victims' confidence, would administer anesthetic through coffee, rendering them unconscious and stealing their jewelry.

Theft Methods and Identification of Suspects

Initial investigations indicate that the suspects systematically and strategically selected their victims. This method not only harmed the victims' jewelry but also created insecurity and anxiety among women. Colonel Khorshad stated that after receiving several complaints, the matter was prioritized for special investigation by the detectives of the police.

Through extensive technical, informational, and police measures, the suspects' traces were identified in two neighboring provinces. Following this identification, operational teams, in coordination with the judiciary, surrounded the gang's hideout in a surprise raid and arrested all its members. In this operation, 90 billion tomans worth of gold was also recovered.

Suspects' Confessions and Legal Proceedings

The head of the Mazandaran police added that the suspects confessed to their crimes during technical and specialized interrogations after being confronted with evidence and documentation from the police. According to him, the suspects' case was submitted to judicial authorities for legal proceedings.

This incident not only demonstrates the police's serious commitment to combating organized crime but also sends a message to the victims of such thefts that their security is a priority. Similar gangs should know that the police are determined to identify and arrest them with all their power and resources.
