On May 24, at around 12.15pm, a house was burgled in Sector 1, HSR Layout. Gold worth Rs 2 lakh was stolen. The thief was allegedly caught on CCTV, wearing a black tee and blue jeans while riding a blue bike.

 

According to the FIR lodged at the HSR Layout police station, resident Manjeet Kakoti (30) of 14th Cross, 21st A Main, found his first floor house burgled between 12.15pm and 12.45pm when nobody was at home. The items stolen included Rs 15,000 cash, three gold chains, two pairs of gold earrings, two gold finger rings, one gold locket and one gold coin.

 

When Manjeet checked the CCTV footage of his neighbours, he was able to capture the thief’s photograph. Only, the number plate was not visible.  He also enquired with a paan shop vendor nearby who was able to recognise the alleged thief from the photo. “He said that this person was coming to his shop for the last four days between 12pm and 1pm. He used to order a cigarette and tea, and then would give a missed call. One more person would arrive soon after, and both would have tea before they departed.”

 

In the CCTV footage from Pratham Motors on 17th Cross, Manjeet found the thief on the blue bike surveying the area between 11.45am and 12.15pm. Manjeet also checked the CCTV footage of the other neighbours and found that there was another person in a yellow tshirt riding pillion with him. “By the time, he came to my house, the pillion rider was missing,”  says Manjeet.

 

What puzzles Manjeet further is that when he and his family had gone out of town for four days, no theft had taken place. However, when his wife had just ordered for a cab at 12pm to pick up their three-year-old son from school, and came home by 12.30pm, the thieves had broken the lock on his main door and stolen the gold jewellery. Interestingly, all the silver and electronic items were left intact. Hie iphone, laptop and a costly DSLR professional camera were untouched. “The cops say that this is not the work of a gang, but someone who closely knows me,” says Manjeet. 

 

The HSR police have registered a case of theft (IPC 380) and house-breaking (IPC 454), and are investigating.
