Woman relieves students of jewels

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, APRIL 18. The police are on the look-out for a woman who posed as a school dance teacher and relieved four fifth standard students of a school in T.Nagar of their jewels totally weighing about four sovereigns.

According to police, the woman befriended the students when they were leaving for home and advised them to come dressed for a dance programme. The students returned with their parents to school. She asked the parents to the come later and pick up the children on the pretext of giving them dance practice.

When the parents left, she got them to remove the jewels and slipped away. Only a few hours later when the parents returned did they realise their folly and informed the school watchman, by which time the woman had escaped.
