Police nabbed all 10 of them in a couple of days, reported MidDay.

The arrest materialized when five among them were arrested in another theft case and during interrogations cops discovered they were a part of a major heist.

One of them confessed that their partner wanted to settle down in life and thought of the movie and mimicked the scenes to make a huge sum.

So they pretended to be cops and entered the firm with two men in handcuffs. They told the employees that the men in handcuffs had stolen some gold and in exchange for the ‘stolen booty’, had taken money from the company. They demanded the gold back from the firm.
