Stirred by snatching, SSP assures regular patrolling at 7X

Taking cognizance of the recurrence of crime in the Sector 7X vicinity, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Vaibhav Krishna, in the wake a chain-snatching incident reported by CitySpidey on Thursday, assured regular patrolling in the area.  

In a tweet, the SSP instructed the concerned police officials to take up the matter on priority and guard against such incidents in future.

On Thursday, CitySpidey had reported that a motor-cycle borne youth snatched a woman’s chain at the main gate of Sethi Max Royal in Sector 76 in broad daylight. 

The incident occurred at around 1 pm when the woman with two children was about to enter the society from the main gate of the society. In a span of just a few seconds, the biker without a helmet came close to her, swiftly ripped the chain from her neck and sped away leaving the victim in a daze. 

A CCTV footage of the same circulated on social media showed the culprit in white shirt riding a bike snatching the chain before fleeing the spot. 

It was the second incident of chain snatching in a month.

An FIR was registered with the local police when the last incident of chain snatching had taken place. The FIR prompted the police to intesify patrolling in the area but they stopped it within a few weeks' time.

Citing reasons for recurrence of the incidence of chain snatching, Sunil Kumar, a resident, said, “There are no speed breakers on the road, CCTV camera is not of good quality and there is no regular police patrolling in the area. All this allows miscreants to easily commit a crime in the sector and get away with it.”

An official spoke to CitySpidey and ensured that the incident was being investigated and culprits would be arrested soon.

Notably, in the past week, officials of the various police stations across Gautam Budh Nagar have been running operation clean and have also arrested many miscreant groups involved in robbery and snatching incidents.
