The residents have written to the police reporting the theft of copper wires of nine outdoor units of split ACs on Sunday. The residents in their representation told the police that thieves gained access to the rooftop on the pretext of repairing ACs and stole the copper wire of two ACs in the morning while the theft of wires of seven ACs took place in the evening on Sunday.

“This is a serious issue, so we have written to the police to increase patrolling in the area. These thefts took place in broad daylight,” said RWA president Vineet Singh Chauhan.
