Three people who used to take flights to allegedly carry out house break-in thefts (HBT) in various states of the country have been arrested by Mumbai police, an official said on Friday.

The arrests came about after the Powai police here started probing an HBT in which 627 grams of gold and foreign currency, cumulatively valued at Rs 24.71 lakh, were looted on September 18, an official said.
