The Sampigehalli police has arrested a woman for her alleged involvement in a house burglary, police said on Friday.
The accused, Reshma, 45, a resident of DJ Halli, allegedly used a minor girl to aid her in committing the theft.
Investigations revealed that the minor dressed as a boy to evade detection.
The duo also used a two-wheeler with fake number plates and a fresh paint job while carrying out the crime, police said.
The suspects were tracked following a house break-in reported on January 13 within the Sampigehalli police limits. Police arrested Reshma the next day from a house in Amarjyothi Layout, 2nd Cross, where she was found hiding with the minor.
During interrogation, Reshma allegedly confessed to her role in the burglary. Police recovered 3.217 grams of gold ornaments and 80 grams of silver articles, and seized the two-wheeler used in the offence.
Police said cases had previously been registered against the suspects in different parts of the city. Both have been produced before a court, and further investigation is under way.
