Thieves cut locks of six locked homes in one night at Tisgaon's MHADA Colony; three suspects on CCTV

Thefts have risen sharply in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city over the past few days. Now six locked homes have been targeted in a single night in MHADA Colony in Tisgaon, leaving residents of the area fearful.

The incident took place around midnight on Tuesday at Raj Swapnapurti Apartment in the colony. According to the information available, the thieves scaled the apartment's boundary wall and entered. They then picked homes whose occupants were away and cut the door latches with a cutter. Six locked flats and row houses were burgled this way.

Shansingh Bhati, who lives in building D-1, was away in Pune with his family. Gold earrings weighing 3 grams and Rs 3,000 in cash were stolen from the cupboard in his home. Flat D-103 in the same building was vacant. It was also broken into, but the thieves found nothing there.

Next was flat No. 112 in building D-2. Anil Lakare, who lives there, was away. The lock of the cupboard was broken, and Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 kept in the children's piggy bank and two silver rings weighing 10 grams were taken.

Besides these three homes, row house B-203, where the Sathe family lives, flat No. 114 in D-1 (the Joshi family) and flat No. 104 in D-2 (the Shelke family) were also targeted. The latches of these three homes were also cut. All these families are away, so the extent of the losses will be known only after they return.

As soon as news of six thefts in one apartment complex emerged, a team from MIDC Waluj police station reached the spot promptly and drew up a panchnama. Police examined the apartment's CCTV footage, in which three suspects can be seen. Based on this footage, Waluj police are searching intensively for the suspects.
