Thieves target 8 shops in Dugri

Thieves targeted eight shops at Guru Ramdas Market, located in the Dugri area. Besides, the culprits also tried to break locks of a few other shops.

The Dugri police have received a complaint from Swaranjit Singh, a retired SDO of the Irrigation Department, and have started investigation.

Swaranjit Singh said after retiring from the department, he was running an insurance company office in Guru Ramdas Market. On Saturday evening, he went returned home as usual. At 4 am next morning, he received a call from a boy staying in the neighbourhood, informing him that shutter of his shop, along with several others, had been broken. He reached the scene and saw that the shutter of his shop and the inner glass were broken. Most of his work is conducted online due to which there was no cash in his office.

The complainant stated that the thieves also targeted readymade garment shops, pizza shop and a mobile phone shop located in the same market, breaking their shutters. The complainant reported that the suspects targeted eight shops in the market and stole goods worth lakhs of rupees from them. The incidents were also captured in CCTV cameras.

Meanwhile, in-charge of the Dugri police station said the police started a probe into the matter. He mentioned that a complaint had been lodged by Swaranjit Singh and the case would be solved soon.
