Kadapa (YSR district): The police on Tuesday arrested two thieves and recovered gold ornaments worth Rs 40.70 lakh from them. Another two accused in this case are on the run.
The accused were identified as Shaik Mehmood Firoz (23) of Alinagar and Shaik Khalid Ahmed (22) of Ravindra Nagar of Kadapa city.
