Burglars break into shops, celebrate with victory dance

New Delhi, July 12

A burglar apparently indulged in a spontaneous victory dance after other members of the gang successfully broke into multiple shops in Lahori Gate area, said police.

The unusual act was caught by a CCTV camera installed in the lane, but the burglars had their faces covered.

The video shows the gang members moving in a lane, looking around to ensure they are not being followed and nobody else is in that lane. Then, they break open the shutter of a shop.

Four of them move into the shop, while another stays outside to watch. Possibly, finding enough time on his hand, he breaks into a jig to amuse himself and celebrate the success with the dance.

A police officer said it is difficult to say why he danced.

"Usually burglars want to ensure they are not noticed when committing such acts. But, this is rare. However, the accused has ensured his face is covered," he said.

The burglars decamped with valuables worth more than Rs 1 lakh. — TNS
