Thieves, meanwhile, also decamped with two tyres from a car parked outside a house in Sector 70. Sunil Kumar, who is assistant director in BBMB and lives on the second floor of the house, said the two thieves, who were also caught in a CCTV camera, had arrived at the spot in a black-coloured car.

Both the incidents occurred under the jurisdiction of the Mataur police station. Investigating officer Lakhvinder Singh said both the cases were being investigated and a hunt is on for the arrest of the accused.
