The neighbour's CCTV footage shows the culprits
Goods worth Rs 5 lakh were stolen from a house in Sector 15, Noida, on Wednesday afternoon.
The house, A56, belongs to Vinod Arora.
The robbery occurred when nobody was at home. According to Arora, his daughter-in-law, Geeta, had gone to Kailash Hospital to visit her brother on Wednesday and his son, who worked in the merchant navy, was away. He himself was out of the house at the time of the incident.
"When my daughter-in-law came back by 5 pm, she saw the main door open and the lock broken. She went into the bedroom and saw the almirah open and its contents strewn across the room. The locker was also open and a suitcase containing her gold jewellery and keys of the bank locker was missing. Her new sarees, camera, laptop and Rs 15,000 were also missing," Arora recounted.
The daughter-in-law immediately informed the police, and called her father.
The CCTV camera, installed in the hall, had no footage between 11.15 am and 4 pm. “It could have been tampered with, or it could be a technical issue,” said Arora.
In the CCTV footage gathered from the neighbour's house, two men are seen coming out of the house — one holding a suitcase and the other holding a laptop and carrying a rucksack.
Sumer Singh, RWA president of Sector 15, said, “In Sector 15, every second house has opened a PG accommodation, so it’s difficult to pinpoint anybody. All such accommodations should be closed down. The RWA has written to Noida Authority, too, about the seriousness of the problem.”
He added, “This sector has become very unsafe, with a lot of antisocial elements. We request the police to take at least two or three rounds of the sector daily.”
Shailendra Yadav, sub-inspector of the Sector 15 police chowki, told City Spidey that an FIR under Section 380 of the IPC had been registered. “We are investigating the matter, and can say more only after we have had some leads,” he added.
