A 27-year-old man was chased by a policeman and caught as he was running away after stealing a ring from a posh jewellery store in Delhi's Connaught Place, police said.</p>
<p>
The incident took place today when a masked man entered a Tanishq store and started inquiring about different jewellery items from an employee, Delhi deputy commissioner of police Deepak Yadav said.</p>
<p>
The staff at the store got suspicious of his behaviour and informed the police, following which a constable was sent to the spot.</p>
<p>
The accused has been identified as Praveen, a resident of Rohtak in Haryana.</p>
<p>
A video from the CCTV footage showed the thief posing as a buyer and looking at jewellery being shown by a salesperson. He is then seen putting a ring in his pocket when the salesperson leaves the counter for a while.</p>

The footage also shows a policeman sprinting after the thief who is trying to run away. The cop catches up and nabs the culprit.</p>
