Shivaji Park police arrested Usha Omprakash Dubey (42), Ushadevi Rajkishore Chaurasia (40) and Raju. Police have booked the accused for attempted robbery. Police said the gang uses women as a shield in break-ins, besides also using them as honey traps for security guards.
Police said the two accused who fled had brought tools to break the lock.
Police thanked a 52-yearold Dadar resident who called up the main control room around 1 am and informed them some people were trying to break into a jewellery shop next to his house at D’Silva Road.
