The Q branch police have detained three Sri Lankan Tamil refugees, including a couple, involved in several theft and chain snatching cases when they attempted to flee to Sri Lanka after engaging a boat in Rameswaram. Pandi, who was initially into bike lifting, switched over to chain snatching and had been operating on his own, police said. After getting in touch with Nishanthan, Pandi arrived here with his wife, a couple of days ago to flee to Sri Lanka, police said. Police said Pandi, who had arrived as refugee in 2002, was involved in around 25 theft and chain snatching cases and was facing trial in about five cases. Nishanthan, who arrived as refugee in 1996, was also involved in several criminal cases, including two attempts to murder cases, police said.
