A couple was duped by two imposters who then made away with a 28-gram gold necklace in Raichur district on Sunday.
In his complaint filed with Yaragera Police, the complainant Mallesh has said that when he along with his wife was going on his motorcycle to attend a religious programme, the two imposters intercepted them near Nallabanda Cross saying that they were policemen.
They told him that it was not safe to travel on the route wearing gold ornaments and asked them to remove it and pack it safely.
After his wife removed the necklace, they pretended to pack it carefully in a cover and gave it to her.
However, when the woman opened it to check after they left, there were small stones in it instead of the necklace.
Yaragera Police have registered a case.
