Crime in the city on the up-rise citizens concerned!
Prevention is better than cure is an adage that we are all familiar with.
Yet we often take this at face-value. Do we really prevent ourselves and our loved ones from harm?
The number of breaking-and-entering thefts are on the rise. Everyday in our city there are more than 10 reported break-ins.
Recently, on May 20, two flats at Hiranandani Garden were ransacked.
In one of the flats the robbery happened at night when the family was asleep. The thieves entered through the balcony.
They entered the second floor apartment using a ladder that belonged to the workers who were painting the building. Says Mr.Sinha, owner of this flat, “Now we are very scared to leave the balcony open.”
They lost gold ornaments worth Rs. 3.5 Lakhs and other valuables like wrist watches and stereo system.
Another such robbery took place in a flat in the JVPD scheme at Juhu. In this case the robbery took place in the night when Mr. Vakas Khan and his wife had gone out, leaving their two children home alone. The robbers entered through the front door.
They switched off the main light, threatened the two children at gunpoint and robbed liquid cash worth 2 Lakhs, valuables like TV, microwave and gold ornaments.
“They even took my set of ruby necklace and earrings, it was a family heirloom that has been passed on from generation to generation”, says Mrs. Khan remorsefully “I was hoping to give it to Selma, my daughter at her wedding.” Increasing number of such robberies are taking place at Peddar Road, Nepeansea Road, Walkeshwar.
On June 9, two robbers broke into a bungalow at Pedder Road.
The residents of the bungalow were not at home. These unidentified robbers broke into the house during the day and stole cash and jewellery worth Rs.2 Lakhs. Evidence shows that the robbers knew that no one was in the house.
This is increasing day by day,do you feel safe at ur place do you have 100% security .this is a question to be asked to your self ,are you safe at your own place.
