The robbery took place at a woman’s house on 18 November in the Chhechani Tola area, allegedly at gunpoint.
“It was carried out with the help of a toy pistol. The woman’s tenant was also involved in the crime,” Superintendent of Police, Reeshma Ramesan, said.
She said the tenant, a known criminal, and three others planned and executed the robbery.
The minor accused is being sent to a juvenile reform home.
Police have recovered the stolen gold items, along with mobile phones and the motorcycle used in the crime.
“We have recovered the stolen gold items, besides mobile phones and a motorcycle used in the robbery,” she said.
In another incident, four people including two sub-inspectors were arrested for allegedly threatening a jewellery artisan and robbing him of gold in Karnataka.
The officers allegedly told the artisan that he would not be released unless he handed over the gold. While travelling towards Bengaluru, they are said to have taken the gold bar and ring from him before leaving him at the Davangere bus stand.
