A viral message being shared on WhatsApp groups states, “There has been an increase in theft incidents in Borivali. Recently, incidents of house break-ins occurred at Kulprem and Kamla Park near Wazira Naka and plot no. 67, Suvidha Society in Gorai. Unfamiliar individuals tend to inspect houses. If they notice that no one is at home, they break open locked doors or open windows to enter. They steal valuables such as money, gold and phones. Thefts are also happening at night and in the early hours.”
The message appeals to citizens to use strong locks, disallow unknown people from entering societies, note down the details of any strangers coming to sell goods or make inquiries, keep all valuable items secure, appoint security guards, keep in contact with neighbours and install CCTV cameras. It also calls for regularly checking the functioning of the devices.
Senior Inspector Maloji Shinde of the Borivli police station said, “Two days ago, the accused entered Kulprem society and escaped with jewellery worth R1.5 lakh. They also entered another society, Kamla Park, and made off with jewellery worth R6.5 lakh. We are reviewing all available CCTV footage and tracking them down.”
