An appeal made by the police led a thief to return stolen gold jewellery worth Rs 3.2 lakh in Maharashtra's Palghar's district, an official said on Tuesday.

Superintendent of police Palghar rural Balasaheb Patil in a release said this was one of the success stories of the ongoing Jana Samwad Abhiyan in the district.

An unidentified man had entered a house in Mangelwada of Kelva in Palghar and stolen gold jewellery worth Rs 3.2 lakh on May 31.
