NEW DELHI: At around 4.53 am on Sunday, within 300-metre radius of two police stations in Central Delhi, two men broke into a shop and fled with at least 100 new laptops.
They spent around half-an-hour packing the laptops and fled successfully. More than 12 hours later, police are yet to make any breakthrough in the case.
Within a minute of entering the shop, the two burglars spotted three CCTV cameras inside and turned them to the other direction to ensure that they were not captured stealing.
The two, however, failed to spot a fourth camera, which caught them. The two — their faces covered with handkerchiefs — spent around half-an-hour inside the shop. One of them is also seen talking on a mobile phone, while the other is busy packing the laptop.
Nishant, the owner of the shop said, “I am surprised how they could break in. They spent so much time inside and yet no one raised an alarm. They broke the shutter and another thick glass before taking the laptops.”
Police said they have collected fingerprint samples from the shop and are scanning CCTV footage from other shops. Investigating officers said there might have been more than two people involved. “We suspect the role of an insider or they conducted a detailed recee posing as customers. They knew the position of the CCTVs. They also must have got a car, which they parked near the shop. Taking 100 laptops is not possible. We have registered a case and are looking into it,” an officer said.
