Mumbai: The cash van driver who allegedly fled with Rs 4.3 crore from Virar last week was arrested from Ahmednagar with one of his accomplices on Tuesday. Rohit Aaru (26) and Chandrakant Gaikwad (41) travelled over 225km on a newly purchased motorcycle, with nearly 1.9 crore of the loot, said the police.
Aaru had to leave behind Rs 2.4 crore in the van as his third accomplice, Akshay Mohite (24), could not arrive with the getaway vehicle on time as he was stuck in traffic, said the police. Mohite was arrested on November 14 and he led the police to Aaru and Gaikwad.
Gaikwad and Mohite are also cash van drivers. The accused claim to have spent around Rs 1.7 lakh of the stolen cash, including Rs 1.4 lakh on the second-hand motorcycle. They had hatched the plan four days before the robbery, said police.
