Thieves struck at five shops in the Saidan Gate market in the wee hours here today and decamped with valuables.

They entered the shops around 5 am after breaking open the locks of the shutters. The incident was captured in the CCTV cameras installed in the market. The miscreants, with covered faces, came in a XUV. They were also carrying weapons.

Shopkeepers said when they came to open their establishments in the morning, they found the locks and shutters partially broken.

Om Narang, a shopkeeper, said: “Thieves came in a XUV. They even took away DVR attached with the CCTVs in our shop. We have provided all clues to the police.” The shopkeepers said they were still assessing their losses.

The police said: “We are trying to ascertain establish the identity of the miscreants. They will be nabbed soon”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
