MUMBAI: Picture this. A white coloured SUV stops in front of the entrance of a tower in Kharghar, and seven masked men armed with choppers, swords, rods and 'katavani' (crowbar) casually walk inside with the plan to commit a dacoity at 4 am.
A CCTV camera at the reception lobby of Grow More tower in Kharghar captured these chilling images of the dacoity in progress in the wee hours of January 10. Within exactly 17 minutes, the dacoits were seen returning back to the entrance after looting goods worth Rs 2 lakh, and sauntering back to their get away SUV to vanish in the pre-dawn darkness.
They had forcibly entered a flat on the fourth floor of the building whose three occupants were information technology (IT) professionals.
With the help of these CCTV images we have managed to identify and arrest two of the seven dacoits and are confident of nabbing the entire gang soon,'' said an official of Navi Mumbai crime branch.
Reportedly, even the SUV in which the dacoits had arrived at the Kharghar tower was stolen and later abandoned by the gang after the crime.
The ease with which the dacoits entered the building was only because there was no watchman present on the spot. They were aware of the CCTV settings, which is why they had covered their faces with cloth. However, police have still managed to identify and nab two of them so far,'' added the official.
The unit-2 of crime branch is further investigating this case, and refrained to give any more information about the gang as that will hamper the police trail. Sources have, though, pointed that among this dacoit gang are a few members with MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) slapped on them in the recent past.
Just last week, Navi Mumbai police has thwarted two attempted dacoities in Vashi and at a petrol pump in Kamothe. Cops had also urged the citizens to be wary and alert of any suspicious activity or people in and around their residential complexes as there had recently been an intelligence tip that certain criminals were planning to target and loot places in the city.
Assistant Police Inspector of the crime branch, Manish Shridhankar, said that if every residential building or colony has adequate number of security guards and at night and also CCTVs, serious crimes like dacoities can be curbed.At the recent Kharghar dacoity, there were no night watchmen. However, the functional CCTV had helped police in identifying the gang,'' said API Shridhankar.
Navi Mumbai police has also urged the housing societies to provide a secure security cabin for the guards, so that during an emergency they can safely lock themselves inside and immediately telephone the police and also the raise an alarm for the housing society residents.
