According to police, 35-year-old lay monk who is the prime suspect stole 10 statues and a sago namgo dzee or cat’s eye from a house at Bondey, Paro in November last year.
The police recovered all the stolen items.
Though the prime suspect and his brother were arrested a week after the complaint was lodged, police traced the other suspects who were involved in selling the antiques.
