A Good Samaritan deed by an autorickshaw driver saved the day for a visitor to the city.
The driver, S. Kannan, helped locate a bag containing gold jewellery and cash belonging to Nilofer (60) of Tiruchi.
The woman, who had arrived at Perungalathur by private bus on Wednesday night, sat in the autorickshaw for a while, waiting for her relative.
Later, she left with him in his vehicle.
When she reached home, she realised her bag was missing and filed a complaint with Peerkankaranai police on Thursday morning.
Kannan, who was contacted by the police, searched for the bag along with other drivers – Shankar, Murali and Dhanraj.
They found it amid bushes along the railway track near Perungalathur station and handed it over to police.
