Two individuals, known as the “cookie-cutter duo,” were recently apprehended by authorities in Chennai for drugging and robbing bus passengers. The suspects were caught red-handed by the police after they allegedly drugged a man and stole his bag containing valuables worth Rs 2 lakh. The criminals would board buses and befriend their victims by offering them cookies laced with sedatives. Once the victims fell asleep or lost consciousness, the duo would rob them of their belongings. This modus operandi had been used by the suspects to target unsuspecting passengers for several months before their arrest. The police have now launched an investigation to determine the extent of the duo’s criminal activities and if there are more victims yet to come forward. The incident serves as a reminder for passengers to remain vigilant while traveling and to avoid accepting food or drinks from strangers. Authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious behavior on public transportation to prevent similar crimes from happening in the future. The “cookie-cutter duo” case highlights the importance of staying alert and taking precautions to ensure personal safety while commuting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
