Patrolling units being set up

Though, the police so far has remained clueless on the identity of the burglars, the official stated that the burglaries were the handiwork of two separate gangs. quot;Our investigations say that two separate groups appear to be involved in the cases. While one of them strikes in the City 8212; for instance the burglaries in Sector 47 in which they stole several TV sets and refrigerators 8212; and use a truck or a big vehicle, the second group strikes only in the villages and targets smaller articles which can be easily carried away and stored,quot; he said.

He added that the possibility of the remaining members of the kale kachhewale gang having reorganised themselves as a gang of burglars could not be ruled out.

The City police add that the suspected gang of burglars who have struck terror in the UT villages are suspected to be camping either in the City or on the outskirts. quot;They appear to be a gang of more than three or four persons who are from an economically weak background,quot; sources said. The police, meanwhile, claim to have made arrangements for quot;keeping a checkquot; on jhuggi dwellers in the City who return home between midnight and the wee hours of the morning. As quot;this is the time when this group strikesquot;, an official said.
